Perth and Kinross Council (PKC) tenants will see their rent increase by an average £1.62 a week in April 2023.
Councillors rejected a Liberal Democrat attempt to go against the wishes of tenants - who narrowly voted for the lowest option of 2.2 per cent - and increase it by 2.9 per cent.
The decision was taken by Perth and Kinross Council's Housing and Social Wellbeing Committee on Wednesday, January 25.
