Landlords will usually be willing to negotiate with tenants who have rent arrears and agree to a repayment plan as this is easier for them rather than pursue an eviction.
If you are having difficulty getting your landlord to agree to your repayment offer you should speak with a money and debt advisor who can help.
If the landlord has served notices of repossession action, you should seek specialist legal advice as quickly as possible.
Speak to one of our advisers on our chat function on this website or freephone Govan Law Centre on 0800 043 0306 or visit govanlawcentre.org
While you await your appointment for money advice it is advisable to notify your landlord that you are seeking advice to resolve your arrears. You may wish to propose an interim offer to reduce the level of your rent arrears, while a money adviser assists you to put together a sustainable repayment offer. We have attached below a template letter which you can use to notify your landlord.
