Important information regarding rent arrears

Talk to us

Talk to us, this is what we are here for. Not paying your rent can result in you losing your home, and that’s far worse than starting a conversation with us!

Let us help

If you miss your rent payments we’ll contact you as soon as possible to see what the issue is. Please talk to us – we can’t help you if we don’t know what your problem is.

Try not to play catch up

It can be difficult to make up one week’s missed payment the week after. For many customers, this can be a slippery slope into debt as next week never comes.

Stick to an affordable arrangement

If you can’t repay your rent arrears in full, talk to us. We’ll ask you some questions about your finances and agree an affordable repayment plan with you. Please do stick to this arrangement – if you don’t, we may have to apply to the County Court to evict you from your home.

Keep on top of housing benefit

If you’re claiming housing benefit, please provide any information that we ask for without delay. If not, your claim will be cancelled and you’ll need to pay the full rent due. You’re also responsible for notifying the DWP of any changes in your circumstances.
