Lancashire rent free weeks

If you live in Wyre or Fylde, there are four weeks this year when we won’t charge rent. These are called rent-free weeks. The dates are:

• 18 December 2023

• 25 December 2023

• 18 March 2024

• 25 March 2024

To benefit from these weeks, your rent account must be at least one week in credit. If you owe rent, you must keep to any payment plan you’ve agreed with us, even during rent-free weeks.

Monthly Rent Payments

If you pay your rent monthly, you don’t need to do anything. The rent-free weeks are already included in your monthly payment. Just keep paying as usual.

Weekly, Fortnightly or Four-Weekly Payments

If you pay weekly or fortnightly and your account is at least one week in credit, you don’t need to pay rent during the rent-free weeks.

If you pay every four weeks, your payment for this period will be half the usual amount.

• If you pay by Direct Debit, we’ll adjust the payment for you. Please don’t cancel your Direct Debit, as it takes five working days to set it up again. This could lead to missed payments.

• If you pay by Standing Order, you’ll need to contact your bank to change the payment amount.
