Under the Rental Accommodation Scheme it is a matter for each local authority to determine the rental payment it will make for any eligible property. However, the levels of recoupment available to them from my Department, which are based on rent supplement levels, may guide local authorities in their negotiations with landlords. Local authorities may agree, at their discretion, periodic rent reviews with landlords in line with the prevailing market conditions at the time.
