My advice would be to act sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>The tenant in question often failed to pay her rent of just \u00a310 a week. The rest was paid by housing benefit.<\/p>\n<p>I see examples all the time, of landlords who are driven to despair by tenants who have failed to pay the rent agreed. Landlords should <a href=\"http:\/\/www.legal4landlords.com\">act<\/a> as soon as rent falls into arrears. With this case, during the time the tenant was getting away with not paying rent, a great deal of damage was done to the property.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst landlords should not tolerate tenants who refuse to pay rent, they should never take the law into their own hands.  A process must be followed in every case including a notice given to terminate the tenancy and all paperwork must be in order.
