My ex tenant was £4300 behind in rent as no payments for 3 months. Also damage caused. property manager put in for retention of bond and the tenant then disputes on ground of financial hardship, WTF he wants his bond back!!!! As he has now put a blocker on the arbitration process & I now have to get a court order just to get the bond released. Absolute joke but the CCJ will be worth every penny. Just seems the Law is totally one sided.

Don’t relay on them paying the outstanding arrears. I can assure you they will not. You need to pursue with the eviction, get your paperwork into the Courts and get prepping now to beat the backlogs. Make sure your tenant is fully aware that you will not be bullied, and will be pursuing them for all costs and interest, ask them for their repayment proposals, to clear their debt, and remind them this is accruing and will affect their credit rating and prospects for future finance. Like most people I suspect they aspire to owning their ow home, so this maybe a wake up call. You can build up to a proposal whereby you may agree to write off all or part of the debt, if they clear an amount by a fixed date, plus vacate the property. & leaves this in the condition it was let to them. But don’t offer this on the first Occassion, the best outcome is you take a few months hit on the rent, get him out without damage to your property & have not incurred Court costs and you move on. Chalk it down to experience, charge a higher bond next time and be more selective, good luck

Write to her (even better if a solicitor letter) with details of exactly how much she owes, confirming that you will be pursuing the full amount plus interest and legal costs. Also point out that her liabilities are increasing monthly, and that you will be pursuing all costs. I can guarantee she is claiming rent relief of up to £575 per month plus furlough benefits so pee taker. Good luck as I am afraid a dishonest tenant, abusing the system

Many letting contracts have penalty interest rates for late payments. Mine is 3% per day. When overdue, what are the thoughts on applying this, my tenant offered to pay £100 per month against £1550 pm so is taking the proverbial. Suspect when he realises he is also accruing daily interest he may try to make a better effort to pay?

I have a tenant who unfortunately is taking the pee, no negotiation, told PM he will pay £100 pm against the rent of £1,525, not interested in negotiating. He is on a 1 month contract, I understand I Need to give him 2 months & 2 days. My thought is to serve termination say in 3 weeks so it coincides with the end current 3 month ban on evicting tenants. In essence in theory.he has to walk at day the start of July. Anyone seen or has any knowledge of the wording of the legislation? I cannot find anything that says you cannot serve the standard notice, just that you cannot edict a tenant for the next 3 months? Thanks
