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.
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 four 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.

- Former Tenancy Arrears if your tenancy has ended
The Housing Management team is here to help you so don’t delay in contacting your housing officer if you have arrears.
Where does the rent money go?
Rent goes to the services that customers receive, including housing and tenancy management and repairs and maintenance.
