Paying your rent and service charge

Paying your rent and service charges is important!

Failing to pay your rent and service charge is a serious breach of your tenancy agreement. We may take legal action and you could ultimately lose your home. Every tenant is responsible for paying their rent and service charge, no matter where the money to pay for them comes from.

What you must pay

Your tenancy agreement gives a full breakdown of your rent and service charge.

Your rent and service charge are due weekly, in advance, on a Monday. However, you can also opt to pay your rent and service charges monthly in advance.Use the handy calculator below to work out how much your monthly rent and service charge will be:
