Manage your home and tenancy

Here you will find all of the information you need to manage your home and tenancy. From reporting a repair and paying your rent; to finding out more about your gas services and controlling condensation in your home.

Paying your rent

There's a number of ways to pay your rent with Gento. From pay points to online payments there's a way to suit all. 

Repairs and maintenance

We have a responsibility to maintain your home to a safe and suitable standard. In order to do this, it is vital that we deliver both a planned and responsive approach to Repairs and Maintenance.

Safety in your home

It is important to us that you are safe in your home and neighbourhood. You’ll find information here about gas, fire and electrical safety.

Controlling condensation

Condensation which occurs in your home is caused by warm vapour-laden air meeting a cold surface. When the air cools it cannot retail the moisture and some of it condenses on these cold surfaces, such as windows, mirrors and tiled walls.

Living in an apartment, flat, sheltered accommodation or an extra care scheme

Residents can have different lifestyles. Some may work shifts and others will be at home during the day. Please try and be tolerant of your neighbours and their lifestyles.
