UK/US/AU/NZ have weekly salaries, welfare, rent and it works pretty fine

I've seen London rental advertisements list weekly prices as a way to conceal their cost, but I've never heard of anyone taking payments weekly. Do council-provided flats have weekly bills?

New Zealand also calculates weekly. For example, a landlord can only ask for two weeks "up front" (aside from a bond). Weekly is common outside the US, whether advertising-only or otherwise.
