Managing your money
We save, basically, because we can’t predict the future. Saving money can help you become financially secure and provide a safety net in case of an emergency.
Paying your rent
Paying rent and maintenance costs for your home is a commitment you make when signing your tenancy agreement. Paying your rent is an essential element of your tenancy agreement and is the Trust’s only source of income to provide and fund all our customer services as well as ensuring you will not lose your home.
Maintaining your home
It’s really important for you to look after your home and attend to important checks such as gas safety, which are carried out by bdht annually. You should keep your home maintained to a comfortable standard so that you are happy and content living there, this applies to your garden too if you
have one.
