Paying your rent or service charge
To find out how to pay your rent and services charges online visit the Lambeth Council website.
Rent arrears
The tenancy conditions, which you sign at the start of your tenancy mean that by law, you must pay your rent regularly and not get into debt. If you do not pay your rent on time or you do not pay at all we will have to take legal action and we could end your tenancy.
If you are a council tenant you can pay your housing rent online.

Housing benefit overpayment
If you have been paid too much Housing Benefit by Lambeth you can pay back the difference on the Housing Benefit overpayment page.

Service charge arrears
If you are a council leaseholder or freehold service charge account holder, you can pay your day-to-day service charge over the phone on 020 7926 3740/3 or online.
We do not currently offer the online payment facility for your rechargeable works (section 20) invoices.
