Online services for landlords

Information for landlords about how to access housing benefit schedules and letters.

If you were already registered on our previous Landlord Portal, you will need to register again.  

As this is a new system, you can use the same email address as before.  

The new system requires one person to be the lead account holder. The lead can then set up accounts for other people who need access to your landlord schedules and letters.  

Our benefits team need to set up the lead account before you can access it. Please complete the following form to give them details of who is going to be the lead user. 

Register for account

Once you have been registered for access to the new Landlord Portal, you will receive 2 emails titled 'Citizen Access Landlords at Lewes Eastbourne Councils'. 

The first email will give you a link to the portal to be used on your first time accessing it. It will also give you the initial part of your login details, your username. 

The second email will give you your password, to complete your login details.

Sign In to your Account 

Once you have been re-registered by the benefits team and have received your login details you can sign in.
