What Happens When You Have Rent Arrears

If you are having difficulties finding the money to pay your rent, you should get in touch with your Housing Officer straight away. As well as checking to see if you are eligible for any benefits, your Housing Officer will make a sensible arrangement with you to pay what you owe over time. Once you make an arrangement it its very important that you keep to it and make regular payments.

We always try to deal sympathetically with you if you are having financial problems. However, if you do not make or keep to an agreement to pay rent which you owe the Association will, as a last resort, take legal action. This could result in eviction.
