AN East End man is in a battle against proposed rent increases at his housing association. Dennistoun resident Paul Leese called on fellow Reidvale Housing Association (RHA) tenants to reject proposals for a £1.23 increase in their weekly rent. Currently, residents of RHA homes in the city’s Dennistoun, pay around £64.90 a week to the social landlord but Paul, a former engineer, fears residents will accept the “relatively small” but above inflation increase. He said: “They send the letter every year, I fill it out rejecting it and it goes up. “It doesn’t affect me as much but I want to fight for the other tenants. I got made redundant after a mini-stroke so I went on pension credits, so my rent is paid.
