Paying your rent

If you are a Grosvenor Hart Homes (GHH) tenant, you will pay your rent directly to GHH through a standing order according to your agreed payment schedule. 

Your rent will be due for payment at the start of your tenancy and then every month after that. In some cases, you may pay your rent on different payment dates or patterns e.g. weekly, four weekly or monthly. 

If you need help with your standing order, please contact Kate Maddocks (Housing and Tenancy Management Officer) at GHH by emailing tenant.support@grosvenorhart.com or phoning 01244 563777.

We take safeguarding extremely seriously and prioritise the safety of our tenants and customers above all else. 

We take a proactive approach to safeguarding and have robust procedures in place to make sure we can respond to safeguarding concerns swiftly and look after the welfare of our customers.  

All GHH staff, board members GHH appointed third-party contractors, delivery partners and their third-party contractors, volunteers and users of the Grosvenor Hart Hub are expected to follow the GHH policy and safeguarding procedures. 

What is safeguarding?

Safeguarding is about protecting children (including unborn babies), young people and adults at risk from harm, abuse or neglect and promoting their welfare and right to live safely.  

Types of abuse and neglect is not limited to but can include physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, domestic abuse and financial abuse. 

What should you do if you have a safeguarding concern?

We expect our tenants and the wider GHH community to look out for each other, and if anything does not feel right or you are worried about a child or a vulnerable adult, please do contact GHH for confidential advice and support. 

  • If you are worried about yourself or someone else, within our office hours (i.e. Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm), please telephone the GHH office on 01244 563777 and ask to be put forward to the GHH Designated Safeguarding Lead. 
  • If you are worried that you or someone else is in immediate danger, please call 999 immediately. 

Remember: it is better to be cautious and report anything that doesn’t feel right so that it can be checked out. We’ll treat all reports sensitively and confidentially as far as we can and make sure the appropriate authorities are consulted in line with our safeguarding procedures.
