Rents....at your service
When you sign a tenancy agreement with the council, you are
entering into a legal contract to pay rent for your home.
Tower Hamlets Homes manages this service for the council.
Paying your rent on time gives you access to other services,
like good value home insurance and estate parking facilities.
It also helps us to fund vital on going services we provide
for you, like repairs and maintenance and cleaning
of your estate.
Who is eligible for the rent service?
It is available to anyone who rents a home, car space garage or
shed managed by Tower Hamlets Homes.
What we do:
- we collect your rent for Tower Hamlets council and tell
you about any increases.
- we offer a range of ways to pay your rent.
- we arrange for direct debit or new and replacement payment
cards.
- we give you up to date rent statements.
- we deal with your applications for rent refunds.
- we can give you advice about claiming housing benefit and
dealing with money problems.
- we can negotiate affordable agreements to pay rent arrears over
a realistic time if you contact us early enough.
