Paying your rent
When you sign your tenancy agreement and before you move into your new home, we’ll talk to you about how you’re going to make your rent payments and help you to plan a budget.
Your rent is due in advance and it’s important that you pay it on time. Failing to do so may put your tenancy at risk.
We’re here to help – our Housing team can offer you advice to get you back on track. If you’re struggling to pay your rent, please let us know as soon as you can. We can talk through your options and come to a solution together.
