What our local housing teams are

Our local housing teams provide a wide range of services, information and support for council tenants in Renfrewshire.

Local housing teams are responsible for managing council-owned tenancies and the areas they’re located. 

What our local housing teams can help with

Our local housing teams are there for council tenants to contact if they need direct help with something, such as:

  • rent enquiries
  • issuing new rent payment cards
  • providing paper forms for setting up direct debits and standing orders, for you to complete and return
  • rent arrears and managing your rent debt to us
  • investigating noise nuisance and antisocial behaviour, if caused by a council tenant
  • keeping areas clean and tidy by investigating improper waste disposal
  • referring you to different services, depending on your needs and circumstances
  • garden assistance
  • home contents insurance
  • housing application enquiries, including sheltered housing
  • telling us about a change in circumstances, such as tenancy changes or someone moving in or out of your home
  • ending your tenancy
  • getting permissions to make changes inside or outside your council house, such as interior alterations or putting up a fence
  • other permissions, such as having a pet
  • applying for Discretionary Housing Payment (DHP).

What our local housing teams cannot help with

Our local housing teams cannot help with:

  • repairs - tenants should report any issues on repairs by phoning 0300 300 0300.
  • antisocial behaviour issues in non-council managed areas – these should be reported to the police or our community support wardens by phoning 0300 300 0380 (option 1) or email wardens.es@renfrewshire.gov.uk.
