How Do Rent Contributions Work?

You can choose to put your voucher savings towards rent instead of keeping the discount straight away. This option is available if your landlord offers rent contributions.

A simple example

For a £100 voucher with a 5% saving:

  • Keep the discount: pay £95 and spend the £100 voucher at the retailer.
  • Put it towards rent: pay £100, spend the £100 voucher at the retailer, and £5 goes towards your rent.

Check the saving and payment total shown before buying. Offers and payment options can affect the amounts.

You are in control

Open the Rent tab to turn rent contributions on or off. Turning them off lets you keep the discount on future purchases. It does not move back contributions already processed.

Housing Perks sends contributions to your landlord, who adds them to your rent account. This may take time to appear. Check the Rent tab for statements, and ask your landlord about a payment we have confirmed was sent.
