Making an application to get assistance with rent arrears problems - ten working day letters and when you can apply
When it comes to problems with rent payments, early intervention is the key to sorting it out. As a landlord you need to keep good rent records, and monitor them, so they will know straight away, if rent starts to fall behind.
To support landlords' efforts to intervene early, Tenancy Services has a process that allows an application for help to be made with Tenancy Services, as soon as things start to go wrong. That means that if the problem isn't sorted out, after a tenant has been served with a 10 working day letter to do so, an application to the Tenancy Tribunal can be made immediately. (more...)
