Council rent - do you still get "free" weeks over Christmas?

i wish northern counties were as generous as the council.

Don't worry.

As long as banks have paid more than 2% interest, your £2 per week has been earning more in your bank account than they save from their 2 weeks off.

I'm with you coop, no offence to people in council houses(as mine is ex) but its the feeling of pride to own, well to me anyway

 

Bingo - in 16 years I will own every brick! Can renters say the same?

 

BTW when I said council house I meant any rented property.

yes for my lovely holiday home in spain, where they tend not to nab it back at the drop of a hat like ours in the uk:thumbsup:

Think I'll get myself a free council house for those two weeks then I can ring council up on Christmas day and complain they haven't come round immediately and renovated my house for nowt.

I'm guessing they will be w/c 21/12 and 28/12? Give them a call 2930000, I think?

[gina2007 10]

The week BEFORE xmas, and the week which xmas day falls on. I think.

 

I would pay your rent though - your in advance then arent you by 2 weeks!

[damo_bar 10]

hi could anyone tell me when the 2 weeks free rent is this year and does every one get it or just the ones on benefits

[dale1966 10]

no such thing for those renting private even on benefits
