Pay your rent - Kent PFI
You can pay your rent in a number of ways but Direct Debit is our preferred method of payment.
To set up Direct Debit payment you can complete a Direct Debit Instruction form or set up a Direct Debit online.
The Direct Debit Instruction form is also available in your new tenancy pack or from your Local Housing Manager. Alternatively, one can be sent to you by contacting the Operations Support Team on 0345 607 0272. You can choose to pay either every four weeks, or calendar monthly.
Once set up you will be issued a Direct Debit mandate with the payment value and payment dates.
You will be issued a new mandate if there are any changes to the payment dates or your rent increases, making paying your rent quick and easy.
You can specify the Direct Debit amount for example the payment value less any housing benefits we receive on your behalf.
