Pay my rent

Paying your rent and any charges should be your top priority. If you don’t pay, you risk losing your home.

Paying by Direct Debit is the simplest way to pay your rent. It is easy to set up and payments can be taken weekly, fortnightly or monthly as you wish.

Direct Debits are convenient and give you greater control over your money.

Our Direct Debit payment scheme offers a payment guarantee. If there are any changes to the amount of your Direct Debit, we’ll let you know at least 10 working days in advance.
