Managing council housing rent arrears
Housing council rent is due each week, however arrangements can be made to pay on the below frequency with prior agreement with your Tenancy Officer -
- fortnightly
- monthly
- four weekly
If you fall into rent debt your Tenancy Officer will contact you to discuss either by -
- phone
- letter
- visit you in your home
The Tenancy Officer can offer you advice on benefits that may be available for you to claim.
If you require any advice or help with your rent arrears we would advise that you contact your Tenancy Officer straight away so it can be discussed and a repayment plan can be put in place.
It is important that your rent is paid as you could be at risk of losing your home if you do not keep up with the payments.
Our preferred payment method is direct debit or standing order - please contact your Tenancy Officer if you would like help to set this up.
