Introduction

Rent arrears are increasingly common across London due to rising living costs. If you’re struggling to keep up, negotiating a repayment plan with your landlord is one of the most effective ways to avoid eviction.

Fraser Bond supports tenants and landlords with lettings, compliance, and dispute resolution across the London property market.

How to Negotiate a Rent Arrears Repayment Plan

Start by understanding your financial position:

• Calculate your total arrears
• Review your monthly income and essential expenses
• Decide on a realistic repayment amount

Approach your landlord early and explain your situation clearly. Transparency increases the chances of agreement.

What Landlords Expect

Landlords are more likely to accept a plan if you:

• Show commitment to clearing the debt
• Continue paying current rent where possible
• Offer a structured and affordable repayment schedule

A reasonable proposal can often prevent legal action.

• Always communicate in writing
• Keep records of payments and agreements
