In line with your tenancy agreement, as a tenant you are responsible for ensuring that your rent is paid. Rent (and where applicable service charge) is paid weekly in advance (although tenants can pay fortnightly or monthly but it will have to be fortnightly or monthly in advance).

The best payment method is by standing order. You will need the following:
Sort Code: 20-55-58; Account Number: 53348075 along with your tenancy reference. (If you don’t do online banking you will have to take the details into your Bank Branch).

You can find your tenancy reference on your rent card or tenancy agreement.
It is made up of four letters and six numbers, with a forward-slash after the fourth number
e.g. ABCD1234/56

You should also receive a rent card a few weeks after you have signed for your tenancy and this can be used at any Paypoint in lots of local shops. Visit www.paypoint.com and enter your postcode to find your nearest one.
