Christmas is a special time, but we know it can also be expensive, especially with the rising cost of living.
As the festive season approaches, we want to gently remind you how important it is to keep your rent payments on track. Paying your rent first helps protect your home and gives you peace of mind.
If you can, think about making small extra payments now or saving enough for one month’s rent in advance. This can ease the pressure in December and help you enjoy the holidays without worry.
Please continue your regular payments throughout the festive period so you don’t fall behind. It’s always easier to stay on track than to catch up later.
If you think you might struggle with December’s rent, please contact us as soon as possible on 01698 268855. We’re here to help. We can refer you to our Welfare Benefits Officer for advice on benefits, and there are other organisations that can support you with budgeting and debt advice, such as Citizens Advice Bureau, Money Advice, North Lanarkshire Council’s Tackling Poverty Team and StepChange.
We’ll also send friendly reminders to help you avoid arrears and unnecessary stress. Our goal is for you to enjoy the festive season after a challenging year. You don’t need to stop buying gifts, but we encourage you to budget carefully and make rent your priority so your home stays secure.
