Ways to pay your rent

Find out about the different ways you can pay your rent charges.

Use My Account to pay your rent and check your balance. The first time you want to check your balance, you will need your rent account reference number. You do not need this every time.

Pay by direct debit

Direct debit is a safe and easy way for you to pay your rent and other charges (eg heating charge). By setting up a direct debit you give us permission to take the money for your rent from your bank account at agreed times. If the amount due changes, then the direct debit changes too. We will inform your bank of any changes before the first new payment is taken. We can also take an agreed amount each month to repay any rent arrears.

Pay by standing order

Your bank will take the correct amount from your account each month and pay it directly to us. Your bank may charge for this service.  Whether paying weekly, fortnightly or monthly you must pay the rent in advance. If your rent changes, you will need to tell the bank the new amount to be taken out.
