Rent Arrears Letter – Single Tenant
This Rent Arrears Letter – Single Tenant can be used when a tenant has failed to pay their rent. The letter warns the tenant that interest may be charged if payment is not made by a certain date.
The professionally drafted template letter is for landlords to use when a single tenant has failed to pay their rent. It formally notifies the tenant that rent is outstanding and warns that interest may be charged if payment is not made by a specified date.
This letter helps landlords escalate matters in a clear and proportionate way where rent remains unpaid.
When Should This Template Be Used
This template can be used as a follow-up to the Reminder Letter Template to Tenant to Pay Rent on Time. Using written correspondence helps demonstrate that the landlord has acted reasonably.
The landlord should keep a copy of the letter on the tenant’s file. This will be particularly important if the tenant persistently fails to pay, or is persistently late in paying, the rent as the landlord will need to enter into further correspondence and may need to take legal action against the tenant.
This version of the template letter is suitable only where there is a single tenant named on the tenancy agreement. Where a tenancy is held by more than one tenant, landlords should use the Rent Arrears Letter – Joint Tenants.
Optional phrases / clauses are enclosed in square brackets. These should be read carefully and selected so as to be compatible with one another. Unused options should be removed from the document.
This Rent Arrears Letter – Single Tenant is in open format. Either enter the requisite details in the highlighted fields or adjust the wording to suit your purposes.
