About your Rent 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 garages and car spaces.
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
store shed managed by Tower Hamlets Homes.
