Landlord for four years and finally have a tenant that is late. Situation is that an otherwise prompt payer (for the three months they have rented with us) has missed a payment due the 21st Jan. To complicate things they are in Europe till 10th Feb and their mobile phone does not work. I have emailed them but no response. We don't intend to wait till they return before we take action. We plan to:
1 Today issue a 10 day notice to pay arrears as well as pay future payments on time, by hand delivery to letterbox.
2 Today apply on line for a TT hearing. This is on the presumption that the hearing won't be scheduled - give the usual delay - until after the 10th Feb when the Tenant returns. This gives our Tenant a chance to return and pay if it is an oversight. If it is deliberate then we can forward with the TT hearing.
Does this make sense?
Appreciate the groups help...
