Your rent

Heating and hot water charges

These costs are for communal heating where it is shared with other households. If heating and hot water is not shared, you will pay for your energy directly to the utility supplier.

The separate amounts which make up the total weekly charge are shown in your annual rent increase letter or other letters related to your rent charges.

Please note that from September 2019, tenants have paid for their water directly to Thames Water instead of the charge being included within their rent. If you were a Kensington and Chelsea council tenant in the period between April 2006 (or the start of a tenancy if that is later) to 3 August 2017 (or the end of a tenancy if that is earlier), you may qualify for a Water Rebate.
