Paying for your homes and services

Having difficulties paying your rent?

If you fall behind with the rent please let your court manager, care services manager or housing services manager know immediately.

Our aim is to help you resolve the problem by coming to some mutually agreeable arrangement. If you do not tell us about financial difficulties, or you continue to build up further arrears, we may, as a last resort, have to follow legal procedures to have the debt paid or to repossess your home. You may also find that financial advice is available from other organisations, such as Citizens Advice Bureau.
