Ex not paying rent in joint tenancy

I am glad she left.0

Please also note as far as I know she is not paying rent elsewhere.
She chose to leave and I did not force her out, therefore I see there is an answerable case.
In your opinion Guest101, am I better of starting the claim at the end of the fixed term or sooner? As she does not physically owe the money yet, only once I have paid the rent.0 -
Why are you still here and asking questions? You're not listening to what anyone is telling you.0

She owes you the money as soon as it becomes owed, not once you pay.
Your contract with your ex is:
On the x'st/nd/rd/th of each Month you shall pay me £x for a period of Y months, expiring on the __/__/__.
This is evidenced by payments made to me to date on the <list of payments>, these payments act as proof of your acceptance of the terms.0 -
Could try negotiating with her.
1/2 the rent.
1/2 the council tax.
Since you're the only one that uses the power/water/internet you should offer to pay these.
Get a lodger and get some income if allowed.0 -
Hi sharp910sh,
I agree with you: if your agreement is that you each pay half the rent, then she owes you only when you pay her half because she hasn't.0 -

That sounds reasonable. So currently she owes me for one months rent payment. If I go to court now will I be claiming one months rent payment not the future payments as they are not due yet?0
