Rent arrears: social housing

Here's what you can do to avoid getting into debt, if you fall behind with your rent payments.

Consider a direct debit

Direct Debit is the easiest and most convenient way to pay, for residents who have a bank or building society current account. Monthly Direct Debits can be set up for:

  • Housing rent and charges (select the day of the month you would like your Direct Debit payment to be collected from your account)
  • Garages, parking bays and sheds (select the day of the month you would like your Direct Debit payment to be collected from your account)

Tenants can download a form to set up a Direct Debit or obtain a form from their area office. Once completed please return the form to your local area service centre.
