NEWPORT City Homes offer residents two rent-free weeks a year, if they maintain credit on their account.

A spokeswoman for Newport City Homes would like to inform residents that, for 2017, these will take place on the week commencing on Monday, April 3 and on the week commencing Monday, December 25.

She said: “If you are in credit and pay your rent by direct debit every fortnight, four weekly or monthly, you don’t need to change your payments. We calculate your rent payment, taking into account the two free weeks that you would be entitled to.

“If you owe rent arrears, you will be expected to make your usual payment to give you a chance to catch up.”You will receive written notification in advance of the rent-free week if you are expected to make a payment.”
