Rent free weeks
Your 52 weeks of rent is payable and split over 48 weeks of the year. Usually, this means that there are four weeks per year when no rent is paid. These are called ‘no collection weeks’. On leap years, there are usually five no collection weeks.
If you pay monthly by direct debit you will still make a payment every month (i.e. 12 payments per year) but this will be calculated to take into account these no collection weeks.
In 2025/26 they are:
- 26 May 2025
- 25 August 2025
- 22 December 2025
- 30 March 2026
If you are in arrears, you still need to make payments in these weeks. No collection or rent free weeks give you an opportunity to catch up.
