You can pay your rent in a number of ways. We want to keep the cost of collecting this rent as low as possible so that as much money as possible can go into providing services. You can help us by paying in the most cost efficient way as follows. All the information you need to set up regular payments or details for making payment by other methods can be found on our Make a Payment page.

We also have information about the following:

Direct Debit

Direct Debit is the most efficient and convenient way for you to pay your housing rent. Advantages of paying your rent by Direct Debit are:

  • Not having to remember to make a payment
  • No queues
  • Only one form to fill in
  • No cheques to write
  • No postage to pay
  • You’re in control
  • Early warning of any changes
  • Refund if a mistake is made
  • You can cancel at any time

We take four weeks rent from your Direct Debit each month (this takes account of the four rent-free weeks each year). We only vary the amount to reflect changes in your rent, water / sewerage charge, or entitlement to Housing Benefit.

You can pdficon Download a rent payment Direct Debit form (PDF 31.2 KB, link opens in new window), get a printed copy from any Council Office or by contacting your Recovery Officer or Debit Control Officer.

Please note that your payments will be monthly, in advance, and that you will have to make any payments due up to the start date of your Direct Debit.
