Every year, Respond carry out a ‘rent review’ when we ask you to check and update your income details. We need your latest income information so we can calculate the right amount for your weekly rent. If there are any changes in how much rent you need to pay, these will start from July 2024
In order to complete the rent review form, you must first download and complete a proof of income statement from frommywelfare.ie see below

How is differential Rent Calculated?
Your rent depends on how much money your household makes each week. If your household income goes up, your rent might increase. If your income goes down, your rent might decrease. The rules for how rent is calculated can be different depending on the funding scheme for your home and where it’s located.
For example, if Respond owns your home under the Capital Loan Subsidy Scheme, Respond’s rules for calculating rent apply. But if your home is funded through a PAA agreement in the Dublin City Council area, then Dublin City Council’s rules apply.

What happens if I don’t return my income documents?
It’s important to send us your household and income details every year. If you don’t, you might have to pay more rent. This higher rent is based on an assumed income that is usually more than what you actually make. So, it’s best to send us your information as soon as you can.
