As a tenant of Ramsgate Rooms your biggest responsibility is paying your rent on time. Falling behind on rent can be stressful, and it can also harm your credit score and rental history. To help you avoid rent arrears, we’ve put together some helpful tips:
- Create a budget: Knowing how much money you have coming in and going out each month can help you plan for rent and other expenses. Make a list of all your income sources then try to prioritize your expenses and find ways to cut back on non-essential items.
- Set up automatic payments via your bank account to Ramsgate Rooms bank account.
- Communicate with us, If you’re having trouble paying rent, don’t wait until you’re already in arrears to let us know.
- Keep track of your payments: Whether you pay by bank transfer, or another method, make sure you keep a record of your payments.
- Prioritise your rent: If you’re having trouble paying all your bills each month, make sure you prioritise your rent payment. Falling behind on other bills can harm your credit score, but falling behind on rent can lead to eviction. We do issue CCJ’s (County Court Judgements) if you do not pay your rent and if you are issued with a CCJ then this will effect your credit for 6 years.Here are some helpful links for all tenants not just if you live with Ramsgate Rooms that you might find useful:
