New York Housing Authority has unveiled new ways of making your rent payment allowing renters to pay by phone and by electronic means for their rent in NYC.
Whether you pay your rent by phone, by mail, by ePayment on NYCHA’s website, or in person at a payment center, rent is due on the first day of each month. Paying your rent, and paying it on time, is the most important thing you can do each month to support the essential services and amenities in your development.
Residents who do not pay their rent on time are subject to legal fees and possible eviction. If you have an unexpected change in your income, please see your development manager. We can help you get financial counseling or adjust your rent, if warranted.
You can pay your rent by one of the following options:
Pay Your Rent By Mail
Mailing your payment is a safe and convenient way to make a NYCHA rent payment. Each month, when you receive your monthly billing statement, just tear off the remittance slip and place it in the enclosed envelope with your check or money order made out to, “New York City Housing Authority.”
The remittance slip is pre-addressed with the payment address. Please mail your rent early to allow two or three days for delivery. Please write your NYCHA account number on the front of your check or money order, and remember to place a stamp on the envelope. Please do not mail cash to NYCHA.
Mailing address:
New York City Housing Authority
Lock Box Unit
