Late Rent Notice may be used by a landlord or property manager when a tenant is late in making a rent payment. Late Rent Notice is often the first step in a landlord's attempt to evict a tenant who usually fails to pay their rent on time. However, it is not an eviction notice, it is simply a written notice to the tenant that rent is overdue and needs to be paid. In other words, this is an informal step that may be done before taking legal action (eviction notice).
A late rent notice is an unofficial courtesy document given by the landlord to the tenant notifying them that payment of rent is past due. A notice of eviction, on the other hand, is a legal document in prescribed government form for residential tenancies.
A late rent notice is normally sent before an eviction notice to attempt to resolve the issue of non-payment of rent.
The late rent notice must include:
The document must also reference the lease agreement, if any, and state the section which outlines the specific due date for rent and the amount of rent payable.
Once signed, the Late Rent Notice can be sent by registered mail, so as to create a record that the letter was sent and received by the tenant. This record may be useful in case of future legal action, such as an eviction action.
The landlord must monitor the situation, and if the tenant still does not pay rent, they may consider a notice of eviction.
The relationship between a landlord and tenant is governed by legislation and the lease agreement. The pieces of legislation governing residential tenancies are as follows:
