Rent Arrears Letters
About this document
A staged approach to chasing unpaid rent from a residential tenant in England. Each letter is complete and ready to send, with alternative paragraphs for common situations, and each signposts free debt advice. It helps you recover arrears early, keep a clear paper trail and, if it comes to it, show a court that you acted fairly before relying on the rent arrears possession grounds.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
