Why are there 53 weeks in the 2024/25 Financial year?

The standard rent calendar has 52 weeks, which is equivalent to 364 days. However, since a year has 365 days, and 2024 is also a leap year with 366 days it is necessary to add a 53rd week to the end of the rent calendar.

The 2024/25 rent calendar year will run from 1 April 2024 to 6 April 2025.
