Rent Payments
There are a number of different ways that you can pay your rent:
Option 1
Direct Debit - this is the most convenient way to pay your rent because it comes straight out of your bank account. It is also quicker and easier than paying by Standing Order. We will inform you if your rent payment changes - but with Direct Debit your bank will adjust your payments automatically. Even if you claim Housing Benefit you will have at least water and sewerage rates to pay and you can pay these by Direct Debit too.
- You need to complete a Direct Debit Mandate Form which can be obtained from your local Tristar Office, the Income Management Team or freephone 0800 389 3288
- Once you have completed the form, please return it to the Income Management Team or your local Tristar Homes Neighbourhood Housing Office
- Customers payments will be taken out of their bank on the 1st or 15th working day of each calendar month (in advance)
Customers paying by Direct Debit may be entitled to be entered into the Direct Debit quarterly prize draw or may receive an incentive if they recommend a friend.
