What will happen to me if I don't pay off my Council rent arrears?

Your Tenancy Agreement states you must pay your rent in advance.  If you fail to keep to the agreement you reached with us, or do not make any payments to pay off all your rent arrears, we will start recovery action against you.  We will serve a Notice Seeking Possession (or a Notice of Possession Proceedings if you have an Introductory Tenancy) on you, particularly if you owe us more than four weeks of rent.  This is the first stage in the legal process that could result in you losing your home.
