Now that Housing Benefit is paid directly to new claimants many residential landlords are seeing increased occurrences of rent arrears from tenants. However the use of individual rent payment cards issued to tenants by Hutcheon Solicitors as part of the Rent Management Service for landlords is addressing this problem directly.

rent collection cards

Rent payments cards are issued to all tenants by Hutcheon Solicitors as a matter of course however for those tenants that receive Housing Benefit directly or are on low incomes and used to dealing with cash only the cards are particularly helpful.

As many housing benefit recipients have their benefits payed into a Post Office account then the tenant can simply hand the card to he Post Office cashier and make a cash payment towards their rent commitment straight away as they receive their benefits.

The cards can also be used at any of the thousands of PayPoint outlets across the UK along with any Woolworths retail store.
