We want to make it as easy as possible for you to pay your rent and other charges. The easiest way for yourself and for us is to collect rent direct from your bank account. This means that payments will not be missed and arrears can be paid off as soon as possible. However, there is a wide choice of methods so please choose the best and most convenient one for you.

Pay by Direct Debit

This is the most convenient way to pay and will automatically change whenever your rent does. (We will write to you beforehand if the amount is going to change). It is also the best value for all tenants as it’s the cheapest way to collect rent and the savings we make enables us to spend more on services to tenants.

Direct Debit lets you pay your rent direct from your bank account. There is a choice of monthly dates – any day from and including 1st to 28th of the month, or weekly (every Monday, Wednesday or Friday).

This is the most convenient way to pay and will automatically change whenever your rent does (we will write to you beforehand if the amount is going to change).

You can download, complete and send us the Direct Debit form. If you need help, call us or visit any Area Housing Office or First Point. Direct Debit is available by contacting us by telephone or visiting any Area Housing Office or First Point.
