Public sector rents are set to rise by 1 per cent, with effect from 1 April 2021.
The charges have been announced by the Department of Infrastructure following consultation with the Island’s 15 local housing authorities.
The government says it's in light of increasing economic pressure being felt due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It equates to average weekly rent increases of between £0.73p and £1.52, depending upon the size of the property.
