Arrears Advice


We know that people can find themselves in rent arrears for all kinds of reasons, and we understand that it can be difficult facing up to your problems.  The good news is the Tenancy Management Team is here to help!

If you are not paying your rent, for whatever reason, don't make things worse ... come in and speak to us now.

What will happen if I contact you about my arrears?

You will be offered a private appointment with one of the Tenancy Management Team.

How can Cube help me?

Our staff are trained to handle your enquires in a friendly and confidential way.  They can:

  • Agree for you to pay rent arrears in instalments.
  • Help identify benefits you may be entitled to but are not currently claiming.

What will happen if I ignore my arrears?

Every year across Scotland, an increasing number of tenants are evicted for failing to pay their rent.  

We will do everything in our power to help you stay in your home, but in some cases we may have to consider taking legal action against you.

What other action can the Association take?

We will make every effort to help you deal with your rent arrears but, if our attempts to reach an agreement with you fail, or if you break an agreement to pay arrears, we may need to consider further action.

This may involve:

  • Deducting payments from your benefits.
  • Taking court action to claim part of your salary.

Why is it important that rent is collected?

A large part of your rent goes directly into repairing and maintaining your own home.  Another part goes towards upgrading all other tenants’ homes.  By failing to pay rent, you let yourself and everyone else down.

So, if you are worried about your arrears, please let us help you.

But remember, do it now....
