Falling behind with your rent?

What can you do?

If you find that you cannot afford to pay your rent, you need to contact the office immediately on 020 8642 1500 or email us to discuss your situation. We will provide assistance and advice on help that may be available to you.

We will agree a way you can clear the debt by paying a realistic amount within a reasonable time. However, if you fail to pay as agreed we will be forced to take legal action to prevent the loss of rental income and this could result in losing your home.
