Your council housing rent
Information about your council rent including ways to pay and help if you're struggling to pay.
The rent charged is dependent on the size and age of your home and also on any services your home receives such as a caretaker, heating, furniture and insurance. It covers the cost of providing you with a home and any repairs and maintenance to it.
Your rent is payable weekly on a Monday. You can pay fortnightly or monthly if you prefer, but it must be paid in advance. There are various ways to pay and if you are eligible, help with paying is available.
