Rents
Leeds City Council decides what rents we must charge each year. We work out what each member should pay according to the size of their plot and then subtract any discounts that apply. Here is a list of rents for full plots for the years 2022 to 2025:
Plot Rents

| Concession | 50% | 50% | 50% | 50% |
| Pensioner | 20% | 20% | 20% | 20% |
| % Due to LCC | 68.00% | 68.00% | 68.00% | 68.00% |
