Council tenant: rent arrears

Having trouble paying the rent? Don't let things get worse . . . contact us now!

We understand the problems of getting by on a limited budget, so we're ready to help you sort things out. You don't have to pay off what you owe all at once — we can work out a plan for you to pay off the arrears in regular amounts you can afford.

We can check you're getting the right benefits - or use our rent and benefit calculator to check yourself! We can help fill out forms and chase up delayed benefit payments.

But you need to move fast! If you don't tell us you've got a problem, or if you don't keep to an agreement to pay off the debt, we will take legal action. And that could mean eviction.

Make an agreement to pay

How much extra could you afford to pay each week? Let's make an agreement to pay off your rent arrears before things get worse:

• Make an agreement to pay
• Or phone Housing On Call 03000 112211 to arrange to talk to someone about a repayment agreement.
