Rent changes

Changes to your rent from April 2026

Here’s what you need to know: 

  • Your rent amount will start from 1 April 2026 if you pay monthly, and from 6 April 2026 if you pay weekly
  • If you receive Universal Credit, please wait until after 6 April to update your claim. 

We’re here to help and can offer advice and support if you need it. If you’re concerned about how you’ll manage payments, our friendly Financial Wellbeing Team is here to help. Last year, they supported thousands of customers with budgeting advice, benefits support and setting up repayment plans. 

You can also use our free Money Advice Tool or visit MyAster to check you're getting all the help available. The rent you pay helps us continue to provide you with safe, secure homes and essential services including repairs and maintenance. 

If you have any questions or need support, please don’t hesitate to give us a call on 0333 400 8222 to speak with our team or visit the MyAster portal for more information.
