Difficulty paying your rent

You must pay your rent regularly. If you fall behind with your rent, we will take action to recover the money. This could lead to you:

  • Having to pay court costs
  • Not being able to get credit; or
  • Being evicted from your home

We do appreciate that you can face short-term difficulties as a result of sickness, unemployment or other personal problems.

If you cannot pay your rent, the first thing you should do is contact us. We will be able to advise you about the possibility of getting benefits or making other arrangements to help you. We can also agree with you a way, that you can afford, to repay the outstanding amount.  Our leaflet 'Get in touch not in debt' gives further details.

We can also provide additional help if your debts are getting out of hand;
