    this information is available of the DCC website. Basically this is the greatest advantage of being a council tenant. the rent due is linked to your earnings and usually goes up a little each year too.

    if you get a pay rise, your rent goes up (as does your ability to pay). If you were unemployed you can drop in provide proof of current income and your rent will be adjusted accordingly. So unlike someone with a mortgage, you do not have to pay the same amount if you lose you job.

    rent allowance and hap do not come into the equation.
