Thanks for the pracctical advice.
IF it was me, I would pay the rent and then sue the former tenant.0 -
Thanks 101
I do realise that legal action against the defaulting tenant is an option. Just wanted to explore the other options from the timescale perspective.
Now all is clear. Many thanks for your help.0 -
Quite a way to go before the 2 months outstanding point as the underpay is around 1/5th of the total rent and the tenancy ends in around 6 weeks which is why I asked those particular points be clarified.- they could be evicted in weeks, since s.8 notice in mandatory once 2 months rent is outstanding.

The Landlord could run out of patience, and escalate this to the High court, at any time, then the boys you see on the telly would be paying them a visit, to recover the full amount from them.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.

I think you misunderstand, 2 months rent is outstanding once you reach the point of 1 month + £0.01.
They we 2 months behind when it was £1725.010 -

If a CCJ were to be granted, it can be transferred to the high court very quickly.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.

That one could be easily side swerved and I doubt the LL could get a court order in the next 5 weeks anyway. In reality the biggest danger OP and co tenants face is a CCJ after they have left with papers served to last known address.I think you misunderstand, 2 months rent is outstanding once you reach the point of 1 month + £0.01.

If a judgement was handed down, not paid, and the county court felt that enforcement was unlikely they could authorise it.
BUT you said:
"The Landlord could run out of patience, and escalate this to the High court, at any time" - given there's not even been a date for the county court, your comment was hardly helpful0
