If you are a council tenant struggling with your rent please see paying your council rent and council rent arrears.
If you are renting in the private sector the housing solutions service will always try to assist with preventing your homelessness in the first instance. We can usually assist with maximising your income, helping you get the right benefit entitlement, help with completing an online application for housing benefit or universal credit, supporting you with your income and outgoings and in exceptional circumstances assisting with paying off your arrears.
If we cannot help you stay at the property, we can assist with finding an alternative property in the private sector and offer most households a homelessness prevention fund loan. This loan will help secure the property as deposit and rent in advance. The service cannot be used as guarantors, but it does have very good relationships with landlords.
Please contact us if you find yourself in this situation so we can work to prevent you from becoming homeless.
