The making and amending of rent schemes is the responsibility of housing authorities as an integral part of their housing management functions.

Section 58(3) of the Housing Act 1966 provides that subject to such Regulations as may be made by the Minister under the section, a housing authority may charge such rent or other payment as they may determine from time to time, in respect of a dwelling of which they are the owner.
