Paying rent on time

Make sure you pay your rent on time, every time. Don’t put your home at risk.

Your rent pays for vital Wheatley Homes South services, including repairs, tackling anti-social behaviour and our 24/7 customer first centre.

Rent also pays for services such as our welfare benefits and fuel advisors, and the support we provide to help people into jobs and training.

When is my rent due?

Rent is payable every week in advance by you due on or before the Monday of each week. If you become a tenant, you are responsible for rent from day one.

As soon as you accept the offer of a tenancy, you will be sent a Homecard to make rent payments. You must make at least one weeks' rent payment before you sign your tenancy agreement.

If you choose to pay fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly, payments must be made in advance to avoid your rent account falling into arrears.

Wheatley Homes South's preferred method of payment is Direct Debit. Your housing officer will discuss this or alternative payment methods with you when you take up your tenancy.
