Ways to Pay Your Rent

ways to pay your rent

There are a number of ways you can pay your rent, including by Direct Debit and online payments.
Your tenancy conditions say that you must pay your rent every week for the following week. It is important that you decide how to pay your rent before you move in to your new home.

At any time you can check your balance online.

Direct debit We would prefer you to pay your rent in this way. It avoids queuing, postage and paperwork, and it takes the hassle out of paying your rent on time. If you want to pay by direct debit, you can get an application form from your Local Service Centre or by phoning our Contact Centre on 020 8430 2000.

Direct from your pay If you work for us or have retired from a job with us, you can pay your rent direct from your salary or pension. If you would like more information, telephone 020 8430 2000 and ask for the Rent Service Payments Section.
