Housing rent and charges

How to pay your rent and charges

There are a number of easy ways to pay your rent.

Pay by direct debit or standing order

You can set up a direct debit to pay your rent from your bank account every month. You can choose to pay on either the 1st, 7th, 15th or 24th of the month. Send your completed direct debit form to the address on the form.

You can also set up a standing order – you must send the form below to your bank, not to us.

Pay online

You can pay online using a debit or credit card. You will need to quote your 10-digit rent account number to make an internet payment.

Pay your rent

Pay by phone

Call our automated telephone payment service to pay by telephone using a debit or credit card. You will need your 10-digit rent account number.
