Rent arrears - council

Service Outline

If you are a City Council tenant with rent arrears we can work out a plan for you to pay off what you owe in regular amounts you can afford. We can check you're getting the right benefits, help fill out forms and chase up delayed benefit payments. But if you don't tell us, or don't keep to a repayment agreement, we will take legal action. And that could mean eviction.

Most council housing in Manchester is now managed by new not-for-profit housing organisations. If this applies to your home, please contact the relevant company for this service. See Council Housing for more details
