Rent Chasing
from The Landlord Engine
When tenancies are set up with due diligence and then managed with care, rent arrears should be rare. However, there are times when even the best of tenants can find themselves going through a difficult spot. We recommend that your relationship with your tenants is maintained in a way which ensures they feel comfortable speaking to you transparently about any obstacles to timely payment. When handled in the right way rent arrears should be short lived and usually unrepeated.But let’s face it – not everything is 'ideal world' is it?
If you find yourself with a tenant who has not paid their rent and communication is either inconsistent or non-existent then you need to act fast. When dealing with tenancy breaches like rent arrears communication must always remain professional. Creating a sound audit trail of your activities will support any court case ahead of you.
A strict process should be followed to chase rent to avoid accusations of harassment. Whether your tenants are one day in arrears or several months, contact us today for support with chasing the rent arrears.

We let you know the fee and take payment from you so that we can move forward. We will contact your tenant to chase payment of the rent arrears as agreed.

We will follow industry guidelines to chase the rent appropriately. We will keep in touch with you to assess any progress and consider a future action plan, if required.
