How to pay for your let

For occasional lets, we expect payment before completion of the let.  Once your let has been confirmed, a member of the CAS team will contact you by telephone to accept payment.

For sessional lets, we will issue a single invoice to cover your full let.  The invoice details the full cost of your let and outlines your payment options, i.e. payment in full or payment by standing order.  If you choose to pay in instalments and default on a payment your let may be withdrawn and any future lets refused.

The CAS support team can be contacted and payment options discussed at education.lets@west-dunbarton.gov.uk.

Cancellation of your let

For all lets, requests by the school will be given priority. It may be necessary to cancel your let. If your let is cancelled for this reason, you will be refunded in full / given appropriate credit.
