We have long term tenants in one of our IP's and they have been consistently late payers but over the past six months or so they have got really bad. They are always in arrears now it is just the length of time they are in arrears that changes. The longest time was four weeks, the shortest one week, but they are averaging two to three weeks. So we will be throwing them out when their lease runs out in December.
They asked for a couple of extra weeks to get through Christmas, and we agreed to that, and to allow them out of the lease without penalty if they find something else earlier. I think we have been more than fair. The PM has been doing her job and issuing notices every time they fall into arrears and they have been getting annoyed at her for that.
Anyway apparently she made a mistake recently. She sent them a letter about rental arrears, but she also phoned them. When they didn't answer she sent them a text message requesting that they get up to date. Now they are threatening to slap an harrassment charge on her because she had the temerity to contact them more than once in a 24 hour period about the rent. Apparently you aren't allowed to do that.
My feeling is that the whole thing is ridulous. She isn't harrassing them, she just wants them to pay what they owe. All they have to do to get the "harrassment" to stop is pay up. What is the world coming to. Poor girl, at least she won't have to put up with them for much longer, hopefully.
