How to pay your rent

It is important that you pay your rent on time. All the money we collect from rent pays for services for our tenants.

If you're struggling to pay, we can help. Please contact us as soon as possible. 

Your rent reference

You must quote your rent reference when making payments. This will ensure the payment is allocated to your tenancy. Your rent reference is shown on annual statements and rent increase letters.

How can I pay my rent?

We offer the following payment methods:

Online

Direct Debit

Weekly, fortnightly, twice-monthly or monthly frequencies are available on a range of dates and days. 

Call our freephone number 0300 555 0106 to set up this payment method. Please have your rent reference, bank account and sort code numbers to hand before calling.

Our office is open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 9am to 4.30pm, Thursday 9am to 12noon and Friday 9am to 4pm.

For information on our Direct Debit process please read our Tenants Guide to Rent Direct Debit, found below.

How often do I have to pay rent?

You can pay your rent:

  • every week
  • every two weeks for the coming two weeks, or
  • every month for the coming month

A payment table is available to show you the dates you must pay your rent by to avoid falling behind with your payments.

We charge you rent for 48 weeks of the year, rather than 52 weeks. This means that there are two weeks in summer and two weeks at Christmas when you do not have to pay rent.

Please note - if your rent account is in arrears you should continue to make payments during the rent-free periods to reduce the arrears.
