Help with rent
We know that customers will at times have difficulty paying their bills.
If you are having problems paying your rent, please talk to us straight away.
Our staff will look at your financial circumstances and suggest help and support. We can direct customers to support agencies, such as Citizens Advice Bureau and Money Advice Scotland, who will be able to advise you.
It's only after we have exhausted these avenues that we will consider taking court action.
