(Social housing covers local authorities and private housing associations)
I believe many new tenancies are "starter" tenancy agreements; a probation period of 12-18 months. There are also fixed-term assured shorthold tenancies.
Tenancies started before 1989 are somewhat controlled by a council Rent Officer. Applications must be made to increase rent. Tenancies after 1989 experience yearly rent increases, capped to CPI I think.
There are also 'affordable rents', basically a way for housing associations to charge more for rent.
Not disagreeing with you, but social housing is quite different to the pre-1989 era.
