Paying your rent

Rent payments are due, in advance, from the first day of your tenancy and on the same date each month thereafter.  CHT do not ask for a deposit.

We would prefer that you set up a monthly standing order to pay your rent.  Talk to us if you want to discuss alternative payments.

If your tenancy is managed by CHT as Letting Agents on behalf of another Landlord, you should refer to your tenant handbook for payment details.
Our payment details are:

Triodos Bank, Deanery Road, Bristol
​Account number: 20294409 
Sort code: 16-58-10
Ref: your name/development 

Rent increases

At the end of October 2022, the Scottish Government introduced the Cost Of Living Act (Tenant Protection) (Scotland) 2022, which first froze, then capped, rent increases for private lets at 3% from 1 July 2023.  You can find out more information in our Factsheet (see right) or by visiting the Scottish Government website

As a private landlord, CHT are entitled to raise rents in line with current legislation once a year, giving tenants a minimum of 3 months notice.
