Housing Rents

Your rent will be reviewed in April each year. Your rent will also be reveiwed if improvements are made to your home. We will tell you if we are going to change your rent - you have the right to appeal

You can pay by

Housing benefit will be paid directly to your rent account if you are receiving it

Rent Arrears

  • We have an areas policy
  • Arrears means money you own the council for rent - you must pay arrears
  • Don't let arrears frighten you - come and talk to us, we may be able to help

What to do if you cannot pay

  • Tell the council - talk to your area housing officer
  • You may be able to claim housing benefit
  • You may be able to pay by installments

What happens if you do not pay?

If you do not pay the arrears, the council will:

  • Write to you and remind you to pay
  • Send you a legal notice
  • Ask the county court to order you to pay

If you still do not pay you will be evicted. You will still have to pay the arrears and court costs. For more information on the processes involved, please view our page on Current Tenancy Arrears.
