Rent
The income management team collects payments due on:-
- Rent and service charges - on general needs, sheltered, shared ownership properties and garages (for more information see our rent and service charges leaflet and help and advice about rent arrears leaflet).
- Supporting People charges
- Service charges
- Rechargeable repairs - on current and former tenancies
- Legal costs
- Former tenant debt
- Sewerage costs
The team is here to help and give advice on benefits, payments due and arrears. However, where necessary, they may take legal action against a tenant who is not paying their rent, which may result in eviction.
Struggling to pay?
We understand that for many reasons you may fall behind with your rent or are struggling to make your payments.
