Paying rent 

Making your payments

When you make your payments on time, you contribute to the continuously improving service Lambeth Housing runs for you and your neighbours. Late payments mean Lambeth Housing has less to spend on repairing and improving your home and the area you live in.

How to pay your rent

You can pay your rent in several easy and convenient ways.

There is a surcharge of 1.65% if you make a payment by credit card. There is no charge to use your debit card to make a payment.

Online

You can make a payment online using Lambeths secure payment site by clicking the link at the top of this page.

By Direct Debit

You can now pay your rent by direct debit.

• It's simple - you provide us with your details and your bank sets up the Direct Debit rent payments - no more queuing or rent swipe cards. 
• It's convenient - you can choose the 6th, 16th or 26th day of the month for payment.
• It's safe - the Direct Debit guarantee will fully protect your payments.
• it's efficient for you and us - the money we save we use to improve services.

To set-up a Direct Debit please call the Lambeth Living Call Centre on 020 7926 6000. You can also speak to a member of staff in the Lambeth Civic Centre.

Keeping track of your rent

It's easy to keep up-to-date with your rent payments. We send out rent statements four times a year, or you can telephone the Waltham Estate RMO office on 020 7926 9083 or email to Waltham Estate RMO office  on waltham@wermo.org.uk, for a balance update.

Rent arrears

The tenancy conditions, which you sign at the start of your tenancy mean that by law, you must pay your rent regularly and not get into debt. If you do not pay your rent on time or you do not pay at all we will have to take legal action and we could end your tenancy.

Our service standards

Your tenancy agreement with Lambeth Housing means that, by law, you must pay your rent regularly and not get into arrears. We will give you clear information about paying your rent and advice if you have difficulties in keeping up payments.
