Dear [Tenant's name(s)],

Re: [Property address] — Second Notice of Rent Arrears

I wrote to you on [date of Letter 1] regarding your outstanding rent. Unfortunately, I have not received payment and your account remains in arrears. I am therefore writing again to request immediate payment.

Arrears Summary

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

Payment Required Urgently

I require payment of the full outstanding balance of £[total] by[deadline — 7 days from this letter].

Payment should be made by bank transfer to:
Sort code: [XX-XX-XX]
Account number: [XXXXXXXX]
Reference: [Your name / property address]

Payment Plan

If you are unable to pay the full amount immediately, please contact me on [phone number] or [email address] within 3 days to discuss a payment arrangement. Any payment plan must include full payment of current rent alongside a contribution towards the arrears.

Consequences of Non-Payment

I must make clear that if the arrears are not cleared or a payment plan agreed by the deadline above, I will have no option but to:

• Serve a formal Section 8 Notice Seeking Possession
• Apply to the court for a possession order
• Seek a money judgment for the full arrears plus court costs

This could result in you losing your home and having a county court judgment (CCJ) against you, which would affect your credit rating.

I strongly urge you to contact me or make payment immediately to avoid this outcome.

Yours sincerely,

[Landlord/Agent name]
