Rent Payment Card
This is FREE of charge to Shire Housing tenants. The Association uses a collection agent called AllPay.net for the processing of rent payments. There are several ways you can make a rental payment.

The rent payment card can be used at Post Office and Pay Point outlets

You can make telephone payments by calling our office on 01290 421130 or 0870 243 6040 where staff will process your payment which can be made by either debit or credit card.

Internet payments can be made via the Association's website, following the link to pay your rent.

Payments will be credited to your rent account the following working day. For example if you pay at the Post Office on Friday afternoon, the payment will be processed to your rent account the following Monday.

Please retain your receipt as proof of payment, as you will need to provide this to the Association in the event of a query.

All new tenants are automatically issued with a rent payment card. If you require a replacement card please contact your Housing Officer.

Standing Order Payments
