If you do serve a notice, the tenant may decide to stop paying altogether.

Also, if the landlord receives the UC direct, does she become liable to return any overpaid amounts?

Of course the tenants are liable but they very rarely ever pay it

Any evidence (concrete, statistics) to back your assertion up?  Most tenants pay (I assert...).

Artful: Landlord since 2000

Don't think she would tbh. 

Earlier on when i challenged her about paying the court fees aa advised by the court said she will pay the court on a monthly basis.

Just wanted to start afresh but now she would not have been selected because would not pass affordability or refrencing checks. 

I think this is key moving forward, before when there were more rentals available and less demand a little mark on the credit file didn't matter. Or they could find a private rental available.

I was discussing this issue earlier in the week with another LL and apart from the odd tenant who truly cannot keep themself straight the tenants are well aware of the situation out there and know when they have a good deal so they will do all they can to keep it.

I would not want to be a tenant in these times. Find a good LL and then the LL and tenant can treat each other like gold dust.

"The great rental crisis" multifuelburner 2023

I have rented 3 properties in the last 8 months and now mainly signing 6 months AST.

She has been a problem since the beginning, constant reminder about making rent payment and gets part UC she does not communicate and UC do not speak with landlords unless tenant present, Her rent is due 30th each month, UC make payment 2nd of each month.

Just not worth it and going forward will be very picky who I select.

Her rent was LHA rate 1595 then increased to 1750, she needs to find a property within her budget, all her children over 18 now would have been better adding them to the tenancy or at least 1 of them.

with any missed, late or under payment serve an s8.  S8g10 may be validly served if only 1p underpaid for only 1day.  Only costs a stamp.

Best regards to all

Done that after the s21. 

She paid down the arrears to £520 and court fees £355.
