Falling behind with your rent
If you are having problems paying your rent, contact your housing officer immediately.

The staff will discuss how any arrears can best be tackled, and will also be able to check whether you are claiming the benefits to which you are entitled.

If your arrears continue to increase, Brent Housing Partnership on behalf of the council will take court action to recover the money you owe, and you could lose your home.

If you are evicted from your home because of rent arrears, you may not be re-housed by any council.

Remember, if you are a joint tenant you are each responsible for all the arrears, not just for a share of it.
