Your rent

To live in your home you have to pay rent.  

Your rent pays for the property you live in, housing and repairs service you receive from us including administration and management costs, and your services charges. What your rent covers and the amounts are set out in your rent schedule.

We are committed to providing all our tenants with value for money, quality services and do not make a profit from the money we collect.

Paying your rent

You are responsible for paying for your rent. Some of our tenants pay for their rent and others are eligible to claim Housing Benefit, and we can help you to apply for this.

Rent increase

Once a year your rent is reviewed. We send you a letter with your new rent and a rent schedule to show what your rent is paying for. If you claim Housing Benefit, we can help you to make a new application.

Your service charges

Rent can pay for the cost of providing communal and shared services to your home. These service charges help to keep your home maintained and safe.
