Ways to Pay Your Rent

Rental payments are our main source of income. The money received from tenant rents allows us to provide a range of housing services and to maintain and improve our houses and to build new homes.

It is no surprise therefore, that we focus much of our time and effort on making sure all tenants pay their rent and pay on time. It is important to remember that paying your rent on time is a condition of your tenancy and failure to do so can put your tenancy at risk. Your rent together with any Service Charge is payable on a calendar monthly basis and is charged on the 28th of the month.
