Paying Rent During COVID-19

Paying Rent Electronically

If you pay rent electronically through automatic banking withdrawal or have rent directly paid by a social service agency, your rent payment will occur as usual.

Paying Rent through a Mail Drop Box

If you live in a building with an onsite Building Attendant and a mail dropbox, please place cheque payments in that dropbox. DO NOT leave cash payments in the mail drop box. Remember, if you must speak with your Building Attendant, please use the telephone or entryway buzzer system.

Cheques can also be placed in mail drop slots (located at the front entrance) of your nearest Municipal Service Centre locations:

• Blenheim Municipal Office
  
• Dresden Municipal Office
• Ridgetown Municipal Office
• Tilbury Municipal Office
  
• Wallaceburg Municipal Office

Paying Rent by Mail

You can mail a personal or certified cheque to:

Chatham-Kent Housing Services
P.O. Box 1296, 435 Grand Avenue W
Chatham ON N7M 5R9

DO NOT mail cash.

Paying Rent in Person

If you choose to pay rent in person using debit, cheque or cash, you have two location options:

• Visit the Chatham-Kent Housing Services Office Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. 
• Call 519-360-1998 to make an appointment before attending the Chatham Civic Centre. Note: you must call and make an appointment BEFORE your appointment time.

All visitors to both locations will be screened for COVID-19. Strict cleaning practices and social distancing measures are in place to protect staff and visitors.
