We will send quarterly rent account statements only to tenants who have fallen behind with their rent payments (are in arrears). All tenants will receive a rent statement at the end of the financial year. Your statement will show payments made by you, housing benefit payments and other adjustments, and will show the balance of your account. If you have any queries about payments made please contact customer services on 01476 40 60 80.
If you have paid too much rent, you can leave the credit on your account to offset future charges or you can ask for a refund. Please complete the form below and email to rents@southkesteven.gov.uk along with the evidence required. The team will then review your account and if you are due a refund this will be processed using the details you provide.
If you have other debts outstanding with the council we may transfer all or part of the credit to clear these debts.
