Paying your rent
The Council doesn’t mind if you pay your rent weekly, fortnightly or monthly, but you must pay your rent in advance.
Monthly payments are calculated by multiplying your weekly rent by 52 weeks and dividing by 12 equal payments.
Charges for communal heating are divided among all residents and this cost is added to your rent account.
You can pay your rent in the following ways:
pay your rent online using a credit or debit card
By telephone - automated telephone payments service on 0845 6032864.
At any of our local neighbourhood offices using a credit or debit card.
At the KIOSK in neighbourhood offices using a credit or debit card.
