"Housing Online lets you view your rent account and update your personal details. In the future, repairs information and Housing Options will also be added.

“If you are a joint tenant, then you need to contact us to set up your account. Please contact [email protected] with your tenancy details and payment reference, and we will help.

“To allow time for everyone to sign up to the new system, no properties will be advertised on Homespot from 29 March. Properties will start to be advertised again through our new system on 19 April 2023.

“If you have a current application for re-housing, details of this, including your banding and date of application, will already be held on the new system. Once you have signed up, you will be able to bid on properties.

“You may wish to review your application details held on Housing Online. Not all your details from your most recent application will be held there from the start.”
