Information about your rent
The weekly rent is due every Monday, apart from the rent-free weeks at Christmas and Easter, though you can pay monthly in advance by direct debit if you prefer. You can pay online using the Make Payment link above.
This commitment must be given top priority when budgeting to prevent any arrears building up on your account. If at any time you are experiencing financial difficulties, it is important that you contact your housing officer without delay for advice and support.

Should your account fall into more than 4 weeks’ arrears without an arrangement, Bracknell Forest Homes will start legal proceedings to recover the debt. This could mean that a County Court Order for possession of the property might be obtained.
Remember that once this is granted, Bracknell Forest Homes could apply for your eviction if you do not comply with the terms of the Court Order.
