Pay your rent
How To Pay Rent
Rent payable to the association is due monthly in arrears, i.e. payment is due at the end of the month for the month that has passed. Rent is due on or before the 28th of each month and can be paid:
Your Rent Account
Details of tenants’ rent accounts are held on the association’s computer system. Accounts are updated every day and up to date balances available at all times. Tenants can obtain a rent account statement at any time by contacting the office.
Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit / Universal Credit
We advise tenants to apply for Unversal Credit when first signing their tenancy agreement in order to have your housing costs met if you are on low income. If you are already in receipt of housing benefit when moving a Spire View Housing Association property you should complete a Change of Circumstances form to move your housing benefit over to your new address.
You may also be entitled to help with your Council Tax costs and we would encourage you to apply where applicable. Forms are available from the office and staff are more than happy to help with completing the forms.
Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit entitlements are calculated by Glasgow City Council Financial Services. You can contact them by phoning 0141 287 5050 or via their website https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/ben
If you want to make a claim at any time, please contact us or Financial Services directly. If there is any change in your circumstances ie. if you start working, then you must notify Glasgow City Council Financial Services for those in receipt of Housing Benefit and / or Council Tax Benefit or Department for Work & Pensions for those in receipt of Universal Credit immediately.
If you have any difficulty paying your rent at any time please let us know immediately. We have access to a fantastic Money Advice Service provided by GEMAP. This is both free and confidential.
