Pay your rent

Please use your tenancy number which starts with 900 and can be found on any rent correspondence.

You can also pay via internet banking or set up a direct debit.   

If you are experiencing any difficulty in paying your rent, please call your Housing Income team as soon as possible.

We will work with you to reach a realistic agreement to pay off any arrears, taking into account your income and spending on essential items. Our policy is to adopt a firm but fair approach to recovering unpaid rent. If you don’t pay your rent and arrears, you could be evicted from your home.

MoneyHelper provides step-by step guides on how to set up a budget, make the most of your money, pay off debts and start saving.
