Hello, I’m hoping to get some more good advice from forum users. First time letting out a property, nearly two years in – currently without rent for three months. Letting agent advised me that delay was simply down to Rent Supplement review. It now transpires that RS was cashable by tenant (news to me) and has been spent.
So I’m letting agent go and taking over. I’m hoping to get help with the following:
To be safe and follow PRTB directions to the tee I am going to proceed with intial arrears warning(!!!) , of one week, then the 14 day notice and the 28 day notice.
· Will a letter sent registered post be enough for the PRTB or would any claims by tenants that they didn’t receive them be taken seriously?
· It seems ludicrous in this situation to give any more than one week for the initial notification of arrears but to be safe in case of dealing with the PRTB should I make it two weeks?
· Any and all other advice you can think of - my personal debts are getting deeper by the day as I don’t want to go into arrears on the mortage as it might prevent me buying a family home in the future.
Thanks
