A record 398 tenants responded to this year's rent consultation with 82% saying that they find Melville rents affordable.

Following the success of last year’s entirely digital survey, we took the same approach with this year’s consultation which was carried out by email, SMS, Facebook and on our website. The survey ran for almost three weeks during the second half of January.

The 398 replies returned is a record number, surpassing by some distance the 354 we received last year, and continuing the trend of increasing returns in recent years. It represents a sample of almost 20% of our eligible tenancies (ie those not let to councils or organisations such as Women’s Aid).
