They must also liaise and negotiate withour client's partner Registered Providers to agree the charges alongside net rent and work with the internal finance team to supply rent increase letters to residents and housing benefit departments within the required timeframes. This project will need tobe delivered at pace as residents are required to be notified of their rent increase by the 28th February 2023 and housing benefit departments by the end of March 2023.
