Universal Credit

If you are receiving UC then your housing costs will be paid directly to you, monthly as part of your UC entitlement. You will then need to pay using one of the methods above.

What if i’m having difficulty and cant pay my rent?

Please talk to us! We are here to help. 

We would much rather that you speak to us than suffer in silence. We can help you check if you are receiving all the benefits that you are entitled to, whether you qualify for any discounts on bills, refer you for specialist money advice and much more. But we can’t help if you don’t talk to us.  We will only take possession action as a last resort because we want our tenants to stay in their homes.

Housing Benefit

If you are receiving Housing Benefit, you will get a payment every 4 weeks from the Council. You can tell the Council to pay your Housing Benefit directly to us. This is a service that many tenants find convenient and most of our tenants pay their rent this way.
