Arrears can happen for many reasons. Every tenant who is struggling with arrears will have individual reasons as to why. If rent arrears aren’t dealt with then they can escalate, and legal action may be needed. 


There are different ways that housing providers can work in partnership with tenants by dealing with the problem early and using positive practice models. No-one wants the stress and expense of eviction. If this can be avoided, then every effort should be made to agree a preferred course of action.


Working proactively to build clear expectations around prompt and regular rent payments starts from the day you meet a prospective tenant and carries on through to the sign up phase. Work done at the commencement of the relationship will pay dividends in reducing defaults and avoiding expensive court action in many cases.


This course is for officers, team leaders, managers in income management who wish to apply the latest positive practice models in arrears prevention and good tenant management.
