Rent
How is my rent calculated?
Rents are based on the income of all occupants in the household in accordance with the Council’s Differential Rent Scheme.
Review of rents
Tenants must notify the Council of any changes to income or household composition, as they occur. The Council will revise the rent in accordance with the changed circumstances.
In addition, rents for existing tenants are reviewed annually and the Council will notify tenants of the revised rent and the date on which it will take effect.
Policy Direction relating to LA Rent Schemes
How can I pay my rent?
The Council provides its tenants with a range of payment methods, including:
- Standing Order/Direct Debit
- Household Budget Scheme (Bill Pay Service available at Post Offices and selected outlets)
- In person at the Public Services Centre Cash Desk
- By post (no cash)
The method of payment will be agreed with tenants at start of tenancy, but this may be changed later with agreement of the Council's Rent Collection staff.
