If one or more payments have been missed where regular payments are contractually required, such as rent payments and utility bills, the account is in arrears. Payments that are made at the end of a period are also said to be in arrears. Shut-off notice is required to be eligible.
If your rent is not paid, the money owed is called ‘rent arrears’. Rent arrears are ‘priority debts’, which means the consequences of not dealing with them are serious – there is a risk of eviction. Eviction notice is required to be eligible.
Rental assistance helps you continue making your monthly rent payment.
