Your rent is important
Without it, we could not provide an effective housing service. We’ve made an effort to make it simple to pay your rent.
Your rent is due every Monday as stated in your tenancy agreement unless you have made an arrangement with us to pay fortnightly or monthly in advance.
We’ve made it as simple as possible for you to pay your rent. Here are the best ways to do this:
