Arrears and Evictions
Paying your rent on time is one of the fundamental obligations of
your Council tenancy. If you fail to pay your rent, the
arrears that will develop may ultimately lead to you losing your
tenancy.
Perth & Kinross Council does not want to evict its tenants and
as such, eviction for any reason is a last resort. If you are
having difficulty paying your rent, please contact us as soon as
possible to discuss your situation. You may be entitled to
Housing Benefit which could help with the cost of your rent.
If you already have rent arrears, we may be able to agree an
affordable repayment plan which will prevent any action being taken
to recover your tenancy.
If you have received a Notice of Proceedings from the Council,
please do not ignore this. You should contact us as soon as
possible to discuss your situation. You can use the following
links to contact us by email about your rent account, housing
benefit claim or for general enquiries.
