Rent Setting and Affordability

Delivering fair and affordable rents together

Thursday 3rd September 2026
10am – 3:30pm
Leonardo Royal Hotel, 80 Jamaica Street, Glasgow, G1 4QG

Join TIS for an essential one-day event that will deepen your understanding of rent setting, effective consultation practice, and meaningful tenant engagement. This event brings together housing professionals and tenants from across Scotland to explore how you can get the most out of the upcoming consultation programme.

As the sector begins its annual review of rent levels and housing finance, this event offers a timely opportunity to share learning, hear from experts, and showcase examples of positive practice. Together, we will explore how housing organisations can work in partnership with tenants, residents, and communities to deliver effective engagement and better outcomes.

We’ll also consider the wider context, including the ongoing challenges of the cost-of-living crisis, affordability, poverty, exclusion, and tenant hardship.
