Understanding Rent Arrears
Rent arrears occur when tenants fall behind on their rent payments. For landlords, this can disrupt cash flow and impact the profitability of their rental properties. For tenants, unpaid rent can lead to serious consequences such as eviction, credit score damage, and financial instability.
