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.

There are a number of different ways to pay your council rent.
Help and support paying your council rent
If you are struggling to pay your rent you may be entitled to help.
What if I don't pay my council rent?
If you have failed to pay us money, they are called 'arrears'. If you don't pay your rent your arrears will build up, so paying something regularly is better than paying nothing at all.
