Council house tenants in Brighton have had a large rent rise, because of being in arrears rather than rent in advance.
Some residents have had to pay an extra £35 per month, unilaterally, from £275.64 to £310.84.
This is because John Prescott stopped council house funding.
It is a cheap ploy to keep the council tax down as revenue.
Tenants were not told of this until the last moment.
