Help with your rent
If you receive Housing Benefit, or the Housing element for Universal Credit, you can apply for a Discretionary Housing Payment if you are struggling to pay rent. We will need proof of rent and the latest two months bank statements.
This is open to all tenants who rent with a private landlord, social housing and council housing. You will need to be receiving Housing Benefit or the Housing Element of Universal Credit.
