Payment Methods
There are several ways of paying your rent as follows:
-
By Telephone
If you have a debit or credit card you can make payments via the phone on telephone number: 028 82246118
-
By Payment Card
By Payment Card at any Post Office, Shop or Garage displaying the Payzone sign.
This is the most convenient way to pay if you do not have a bank account as many Payzone outlets are open outside office hours and at weekends.
-
Using your Rent Payment Card
Step One
Keep your payment card in a safe place. When you make a payment at a Post Office or Payzone outlet you will need to take your card with you.
Step Two
Take your Payment Card, together with your payment to any Post Office or Payzone outlet and give them both to the cashier.
Step Three
The cashier will quickly process your payment and give you back your card together with a receipt. This receipt is your confirmation of payment so please keep it safe as you will need it if there is ever a query with your payment.

Paying by Direct Debit from your bank or building society.
Your Housing Officer will provide you with a form to complete in order to set this up. There are advantages of paying by Direct Debit. Rural Housing Association will automatically collect the rent due. Furthermore, you will not be required to take any action in the event rent changes e.g. the annual rent increase – this will be automatically increased, and you will be notified in writing. If for any reason you wish to cancel your Direct Debit, please contact your Housing Officer.
If you are in receipt of benefits or on a low income, you may qualify for Housing Benefit or Universal Credit to help pay your rent.
Please contact Rural Housing Association for further information.
