Over the last couple of years, our tenant had been either late paying or not paying quite enough one week and would take her a month to catch up. Anyway she looked after the house well, so we have been ok with it. We agreed on a payment plan and she was adhering to it. Then things changed.
She suddenly stopped paying altogether and after 14 days, I issued her with a termination notice which gives her until the 23rd of this month and then after 18 days from when we sent the notice, I applied to Tribunal. We have got a hearing down for 6th September.
I just have a few queries if someone could please help.
Is it up to the tenant to contact us from here on in or do I still try and contact her to retrieve payment?
What happens on the 23rd of this month? Do we go to the house and request that she hands back the keys and moves out?
Or do we simply sit and wait for tribunal? I have tried to search for information, but I cannot find any.
Lastly, we pay for the water, so can we turn it off after a certain date.
I am planning for Tribunal and have been jotting down all my notes. I am a little nervous as I have never even stepped inside of a court room. But at least I am on the "good" side. She is a bit of a drama queen so I can imagine that she will rant and rave, but I will be very composed and present my case
