If you are in financial difficulty

If you're able to pay rent as normal you must continue to do so. If you're unable to pay the full amount, you should pay as much of your rent as you can.

If you cannot pay your rent or you are at risk of eviction, contact your local council to find out what support is available to you.

You may also be able to get financial support, such as:

• Universal Credit
• Discretionary Housing Payment
• help from a local council through the Scottish Welfare Fund
• Citizen's Advice Scotland has information and advice if you are experiencing financial difficulties.

The cost of living website has information on help available to help you with energy, housing and other costs.

If you think that you may still have problems paying your rent even with these sources of support, you should speak to your landlord or letting agent as soon as possible.
