The rent we collect is our main income. It enables us to do repairs and improvements to your home, as well as providing all our other neighbourhood services.
When we set our rents, we aim to ensure they are affordable for single people, families and couples who are on a low income. The rent we charge will be the same for tenants who qualify for Housing Benefit as those who do not. We aim to collect enough income from rent to enable us to meet the needs of present and future customers. We also share the Government’s aim that by 2012 everyone living in a similar area, in a similar home, will pay the same rent.
The leaflets below give you further information about your rent. You can also downland a rent card for your area which you can use to record your payments.
