Lambeth Housing tenants should be receiving a letter informing them that the 3% rent reduction won by Labour will be implemented in their November rent accounts.
As the rent reduction is being backdated to April, this means the average tenant will be receiving more than £50 as a welcome bonus as winter sets in.
Lambeth residents won the reduction through tough and persistent lobbying of government from Labour's councillors and MPs.
Councillor Pete Robbins commented: 'We're delighted that tenants will be receving this hard fought rent reduction in time for Christmas. We were disappointed that rents had to rise so much in April, but this reduction goes some way to redressing the balance. We'd like to thank all those tenants who supported our local campaign to get help from the Government - this is as much their victory as it is ours.'
