Stopping your rent deduction

Before you stop using the Rent Deduction Scheme talk to your housing authority.

You’ll need to organise another way to pay your rent.

You can stop your deduction by doing any of the following:

We’ll send you a letter to confirm your cancellation. We’ll also tell your housing authority.

It’s then up to you to organise paying rent directly to your housing authority.

We can’t restart a rent deduction if you stop using the Rent Deduction Scheme. You will need to contact your housing authority if you wish to restart it.
