Paying Your Rent
Rent is a fee charged to customers by Pine Court Housing Association for living in one of our homes. It’s important to pay your rent on time, so you don’t incur rent arrears.
This fee is based on a formula set by the government and takes into account property valuation, local earnings and the size of the property. In some cases, this fee may also include service charges to cover the costs of lift maintenance and communal cleaning.
Take a look at our Guide to Rent and Service Charges for more details.
All customers are responsible for ensuring that their rent is paid, whether Housing Benefits or family members make payments on their behalf.
