It is easy and convenient to pay your rent and service charges safely and securely online.

You don't need to sign up for a tenant account or log in to make a payment; all you need is a reference number.

For rent payments, your reference number is your tenancy number which is on your rent statement. For all other payments, please use the number referred to on the invoice or in our correspondence.

  • Rent and/or Service Charge payments – nine digit tenancy code beginning with a four or five
  • Sundry payments – 8 digit customer code, for example 12/000000

If you do not have a reference number please contact Progress Connect on 03333 204555 (telephone lines are open between 8am and 6pm).

Direct Housing Benefit payments

Housing Benefit is money you may get from your local council to help you pay your rent.  It can be paid straight to us as your landlord.

Housing Benefit Yellow
Universal Credit

If you move on to Universal Credit, please make sure that you make it clear on your Universal Credit application form that you live in supported housing. This will mean that your housing costs will still be met by the local authority through Housing Benefit and not through Universal Credit.
