We understand sometimes you may have difficulty paying your rent.
Your Housing Officer will be able to offer advice and signpost you to agencies who can offer budgeting advice. You must contact them should you face a change in your circumstances. If you do not pay your rent, action may be taken which could put you at risk of losing your home.
Should you fall behind with your rent, please contact your Housing Officer before it becomes unmanageable. Our staff are trained to talk through your options and set up repayment arrangements which we aim to get you to a point where you pay your rent in advance.
We’ve created a handbook with the help of tenants, for tenants. It has been designed as a guide to refer to at the start, during and at the end of your tenancy.
We have over 1900 properties across North East Scotland, including general needs, amenity, sheltered, very sheltered, mid-market rent and shared ownership.
