Rents and Benefits

We have produced a short film which gives an overview of how our rent service works. You can view our Introduction to our rent service here.

The rent for all Council dwellings and garages is charged on a weekly basis over 50 weeks.

The rent that the Council receives is used to pay for most of the services that tenants receive, such as repairs, grounds maintenance and general estate management.

Some tenants pay an additional service charge to cover special services they receive, such as the provision of heating and hot water in sheltered housing.

If you're experiencing difficulties in paying your rent please get in touch before it becomes a problem. What to do about rent arrears is our information page that provides some solutions.

You can download a Housing and Council Tax Benefit application form here.
