Help and advice on paying your rent

If your ability to pay your rent has been adversely affected by the increase in the cost of living, then please contact us using our tenancy management contact form or telephone us on 01455 255861.

If you are struggling with paying your rent, you may be entitled to Universal Credit or, in some cases, Housing Benefit. For further information please visit Universal Credit.

It is your responsibility to keep the Benefits Team informed if you make a claim or there are changes in your circumstances. It is also essential that you notify the Rents Team if there are any changes to your benefits.
