How to pay your rent

Direct Debit is our preferred method of payment and the easiest way for you to pay your rent.

It’s a simple and safe way to pay your bills automatically from your bank account.  All you have to do is agree with us:

• the amount you will pay; and
• the regular date of payment.

After that your rent plus any agreed amount towards your arrears will be deducted from your account on your chosen date. 

SW9 Community Housing has a high percentage of residents on Direct Debit - around 55% and this is growing every month.  

We can set this up for you over the phone. Phone us on 0207 326 3700 and select the 'rent and service charge' option for more information.

 

Our new self service portal is an easy way to pay your rent, log a repair, and view communal repairs in your building.

It is simple to set up and manage your account.  Simply click here to log in to the portal, create a new account and you're away. You can use the portal to view your rent statements going back up to six years.

With 24 hour access to the portal, you can manage your rent account at your convenience and make sure you keep in credit at all times.

You can pay online using your rent payment swipe card, debit card, or credit card. You will need a personal email address to be able to pay this way.

Log on to the AllPay website and follow the instructions.
