Your responsibilities
If you can't pay your rent, let us know as soon as possible.
If you're finding it difficult to pay your rent, or if you're experiencing money problems, please contact us.
Please remember that we could take legal action if you don't pay your rent.
If your tenancy is in joint names, you are both responsible for all the rent and for any payments that have been missed.
If one joint tenant leaves the property, we can claim any rent owing from the remaining tenant or tenants, as well as from the tenant who leaves.
