Evictions

I'm a Housing Association Tenant with Rent Arrears and I'm worried about Eviction

First of all contact your Housing Association and try to set up a payment plan to pay off your arrears in regular manageable amounts, then contact the Housing Options Team by email or telephone 01653 600666 to make an appointment for an interview with the duty officer.  Appointments are usually available every weekday except for Wednesdays at Ryedale House in Malton.

The officer can advise you of your rights and may be able to assist you to claim benefits which you are entitled to, they may also refer you to other agencies who can help with debt problems, support you at court or negotiate on your behalf.

Ryedale District Council does not have any housing stock so there are no council houses in the Ryedale area, all social housing is provided by housing associations.

Useful Contacts

Telephone Yorkshire Housing on 01653 600300 at their Norton office or at the York office on  01904 754420 or visit their website.

Ryedale CAB may also be able to advise you they hold drop-in sessions at Community House on Wentworth Street in Malton each Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9.30am until 12.30pm and there is a drop-in session in Pickering library each Tuesday from 9.30am until 12.30pm. Email bureau@ryedalecab.cabnet.org.uk or telephone the advice line on 0844 4111444.
