Ways to pay your rent

Most customers pay rent by Direct Debit because it’s straightforward, secure and means you never fall behind in your payments.

A Direct Debit is a payment that can be arranged weekly, fortnightly or by calendar month on any date and is taken automatically from your bank account.

Never miss a payment, set up a Direct Debit now.

If you need help, we can help you set up your Direct Debit over the phone, call Torus Customer Hub on 0800 678 1894.

PLEASE NOTE: If you pay by Direct Debit and your payment is due to be taken on a day that falls on a Bank Holiday, please be aware the payment will not be collected from your bank account and paid to Torus until the next working day.  Please ensure you leave the money in your bank account to cover the Direct Debit rent payment.    

Pay quickly, conveniently and securely on our website without logging into your tenant account, through our SECURE PAYMENT SITE and follow the instructions.
