Are you in receipt of Universal Credit?
Important Information about your rent during 2024/25 - The 53 Week Financial Year
During 2024/25 there are 53 Mondays between 1st April 2024 and 31st March 2025
Your tenancy agreement states that your rent is changes every week.
If you are receiving Universal Credit your claim will not cover all of your rent payments for this financial year. This is because the rent is charged to your account every Monday and there are 53 Mondays between 1st April 2024 and 31st March 2025.
The DWP (Department for Work and Pensions) will only pay up to 52 weeks of rent and service charges per year. Therefore, you will need to pay the rent for the 53rd week of the year due on 31 March 2025 using your personal income.
If you are affected by this, we can help you set up a payment plan where you pay extra each week during the year to cover the additional week’s rent.
