To make it as easy as possible for you, there are several different ways for you to pay your rent. We do not make a charge for using any of these methods of payment. Please note, we do not accept payment by credit card.
We collect rent from all of our tenants to pay for the homes and services that we provide. Rent and other charges are payable in advance on the Monday of each week. It is your responsibility to ensure that your rent is paid regularly to avoid going into arrears.
Ways to pay your rent
Direct Debit
There are lots of advantages to setting up a Direct Debit to pay your rent. It's simplest and most convenient way to pay your rent, saving you time as your rent is paid automatically from your account. It also helps us save money so we can invest more in your community and homes.
You can pay by Direct Debit either monthly or weekly. If you pay your rent on a monthly basis, the amount will be automatically debited from your account on the 3rd or 20th of each month. If you pay your rent weekly, the payment will be collected each Monday. We can only take the agreed amount and if we need to change the amount or collection date, we will notify you first. .
