Fairness applies in another way, however. My aim in doing this is to improve viability as opposed to reducing the level of rent for properties that are not yet built. In that sense, we are treating future tenants and existing tenants in the same way. The aim of bringing this forward is not necessarily to adjust the rent that future cost-rental tenants will pay. It is to help to have more cost-rental properties built in the first place.
