- Making online payments
- Setting up a Direct Debit
- Requesting a repair
- Chasing the progress of a repair
- Viewing repair history
- Respond to surveys

Cllr David Godfrey, Cabinet Member for Housing and Special Projects, said: "The service has been developed in line with feedback and expectations of our tenants.
"Our ambition is for tenants to be able to contact us through a seamless online self-serve system which is, quick, easy, intuitive, and accessible. Of course, anyone without internet access can still contact us in the usual way."
Leader Cllr David Monk added: "Tenant satisfaction is at the heart of this new platform; we have identified common reasons why our tenants contact us and this data has been integral in building the new service.
"More options for tenants will be added over time as part of our journey of continuous improvement."
