Dear [Tenant's name(s)],

Re: [Property address] — Rent Arrears Notice

I am writing to inform you that your rent account is currently in arrears. As at the date of this letter, the following amounts are outstanding:

Arrears Summary

• Rent due for: [Month(s) / period(s)]
• Amount overdue: £[amount]
• Total outstanding: £[total]
• Last payment received: £[amount] on [date]

Action Required

Please make payment of the full outstanding amount of £[total] by[deadline date — usually 7–14 days].

Payment should be made by [bank transfer to sort code XX-XX-XX, account XXXXXXXX / other method]. Please use your name and property address as the payment reference.

If You Are Unable to Pay

If you are experiencing financial difficulty, please contact me immediately on [phone number] or [email address] to discuss your situation. I may be able to agree a short-term payment plan in appropriate circumstances.

You may also wish to seek free debt advice from Citizens Advice (citizensadvice.org.uk) or StepChange (stepchange.org).

Consequences of Non-Payment

If the arrears are not cleared by the deadline above, I will have no option but to take further action, which may include serving a formal Section 8 Notice Seeking Possession and applying to the court for a possession order. This could result in you losing your home and being liable for court costs.

I hope we can resolve this matter without the need for legal proceedings. Please contact me as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely,

[Landlord/Agent name]
