How to pay your rent

You can pay your rent by monthly Direct Debit to make payment more convenient. We have recently introduced additional Direct Debit dates and you can now choose to pay on either the 1st, 8th, 15th or 22nd of each month.

You can set your Direct Debit up using our online service for Tenants, myHome East Suffolk. For information on how to register for a myHome account, visit our FAQ page. If you do not have access to the internet, please contact your Rent Officer for advice on setting up a Direct Debit.

You should allow at least 15 working days for the direct debit to become effective. Direct Debit is a safe and secure way to pay. Don't forget to pay your rent in the period between submitting your Direct Debit formĀ and the date that your first Direct Debit is due.

Other ways to pay can be found on our Make a Payment page.

Shared Ownership

If you are part of the Shared Ownership scheme, please see our Shared Ownership page for more information on paying your rent.
