Paying your rent & other charges
Your rent and service charges are payable in advance. We have a number of payment options that make paying your rent easier, including our customer portal, Connect, although our preferred method is direct debit.
Payment Methods
Please remember:
Whichever way you pay, your rent must be paid regularly when due and all payments must be made in advance otherwise your account/s will show in arrears.
What happens if I don’t pay?
We can offer you help and advice, and work with you to sort out a repayment plan if you do fall behind with your payments.
If you’re having difficulty paying your rent, worried about money problems or are on a low income, please contact us as soon as possible, or visit our page to read more on how we can help - the earlier you speak to us, the earlier we can help.
If you keep to an arrangement no further action will be taken against you; legal action and eviction can be a reality if you do not.
Your credit history
The Rental Exchange scheme allows customers with a history of little or no credit, to build a credit score.
Being able to prove your identity and show a track record of paying your rent will open up new channels and services, giving fairer access to services such as: bank accounts, credit cards, loans, online shopping, and better gas and electricity rates.
