When is it due?
Your rent is due in advance every Monday from the start of your tenancy. You can also make arrangements with your Rent Officer to pay weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Whichever payment method you choose, you will pay the same amount over the year. You should not be in rent arrears irrespective of your method of payment.

Your Rent Officer can help you answer questions about your rent and any benefit entitlements. They can help you make an income and spending plan that will help you look after your money. They can also help you to complete forms about your rent or benefits.
We also have Financial Inclusion Officers, who can give you free specialist advice on money issues.
