Homechoice

Outstanding rent arrears from current or previous addresses may prevent an offer of housing being made through HomeChoice.

All applicants registered with HomeChoice must ensure they have a regular repayment plan in place for any rent arrears. The arrears should be cleared to ensure future offers of housing can be made.

For debt and money advice please contact your local Citizen’s Advice service.

The letting cycle beginning on Wednesday 22nd December will run for 2 weeks instead of the normal one-week cycle and will therefore end on Monday 3rd January 2021. Letting cycles will return to one-week cycles as normal after this date.
