Help to pay
Paying your rent is not a matter of choice and it’s important you pay on time. If you find yourself falling behind with your rent, it’s important you work with us to deal with the situation.
The earlier you let us know about a problem, the easier it will be for us to help.
If you don’t let us know about missed payments or don’t keep to an arrangement for paying off rent arrears, we may take legal action, which could lead to you losing your home.
If you are in arrears, don't:
- ignore the problem
- ignore our letters or telephone calls
- borrow money from door-to-door or payday lenders
