What is a service charge?
Some of you will also pay a service charge. This is to cover specific services you receive and is usually where there are communal areas such as ground maintenance, cleaning, lighting, fire equipment and lift or adaptations maintenance. We calculate this by using actual costs of the service from the previous year. Some service charges are eligible for Housing Benefit and Universal Credit. We will explain these costs to you every year and your housing officer will be able to give you more information.
