At the start of every month we get the same flurry of phone calls.
Tenants calling to pay their rent for the previous month.

Keeping on top of your rent isn’t always easy. We know life gets busy, and sometimes a payment can simply be forgotten. The good news is there are a few simple ways to help you stay on track.

🏡 Top tips to avoid late rent payments:

✔️ Set up a Direct Debit for a date that suits you. It’s quick and easy – just give us a call and we’ll arrange it over the phone.

✔️ Receive Universal Credit? You can opt to have your housing costs paid directly to your landlord.

✔️ Watch out for our text reminders. On the last day of each month, we send a text to tenants with an outstanding rent balance. If you receive one, please act as soon as you can by making a payment through your My Account on our website or call us.

✔️ Talk to us early. If there’s a genuine reason your rent payment will be late, please contact your Housing Officer. We’re here to discuss your situation and help where we can.

Rent is a priority tenancy obligation. Your tenancy agreement states that your rent is due on the 1st day of each month. It is even more vital if your in arrears, missed and late payments can have a detrimental effect on your tenancy.
