Pay your rent and check your balance
If you’d like to view your rent account balance or make a payment online, you can do so easily in our rent account portal.
All you need is your rent account number, which you can find in the top left corner of your paper rent statement and your post code.
You can also view your transactions and statements by logging into your One Account from the portal.
Check your balance by phone
You can also check your balance and most recent transactions 24/7, by calling 020 8356 3100. You’ll need to have your payment reference to hand. Payment references are 9 digits and can be found on rent cards and on letters you will have received from us.
