Rents and service charges

My balance is showing as credit, does that mean I can have a refund?

As explained above,the rent should be paid in advance by whichever payment method you have chosen.If your account goes into debit at any time between payments this is not fullyin advance and so we will not be able to provide you with a refund.

We would only consider a refund if the credit was higher than the advance payment.
