Supported scope
- An early notification of genuine, undisputed rent arrears to a tenant.
- Sets out the rent, the arrears period and the exact total you provide — nothing is estimated for you.
- Invites payment or a conversation about a realistic repayment plan, and signposts free debt advice.
- Tells the tenant what to do if they think the figures are wrong.
- States plainly that a formal notice seeking possession may follow if the arrears are not resolved — and that a court order is required before any tenant has to leave.
- Never threatens bailiffs, debt collectors or your tenant's credit file, and never names a possession ground, form or notice period.
UKDocs AI is a document-drafting service, not a law firm or solicitor. This letter states that a formal notice seeking possession may follow if the arrears are not resolved, but it is not that notice, does not start the possession process, and is not a Letter Before Claim under the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims. Demanding payment in a manner calculated to cause alarm, distress or humiliation, or falsely suggesting non-payment is a criminal matter, is an offence under section 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970 — so this letter stays factual by design.
