What happens if i fail to pay my rent?
- If your rent account is in arrears you will be sent a letter advising you of this and requesting payment.
- if you do not pay the arrears, you will be sent a reminder advising that action may be taken to recover the debt.
- If your rent account is still in arrears you will be served with a Notice Seeking Possession.
- If you recieve a Notice, contact your Housing Management Advisor immediately.
- When action has been agreed with your Housing Management Advisor you have four weeks to reduce the debt. Failure to do this means court proceedings will be taken.
