Rent Arrears Tracker

Track rent arrears and payment status

The Rent Arrears Tracker is an essential tool for landlords looking to maintain financial control over their rental properties. This user-friendly online calculator allows landlords to input tenant payment histories, track any outstanding rent, and manage payment statuses all in one place. By using this tool, landlords can easily monitor which tenants are current with their payments and which ones are falling behind, enabling proactive communication and management of arrears. One of the key benefits of the Rent Arrears Tracker is its ability to generate reports which help landlords understand trends in rent payments and identify potential issues before they escalate. With clear visual indicators of missed payments and arrears, landlords can make informed decisions about how to address late payments, whether it’s reaching out to tenants or initiating further action. Simplifying the process of tracking rent payments saves time and reduces stress, making it an invaluable resource for landlords managing multiple tenants.

Inputs

Provide the following 3 values to run the Rent Arrears Tracker:

  • Monthly Rent (£) [number] (required)
  • Months in Arrears [number] (required)
  • Partial Payments Received (£) [number] — default 0

What it calculates

  • Weeks Behind
  • Action

Worked example

For the sample inputs below:

  • Monthly Rent (£): 12
  • Months in Arrears: 12
  • Partial Payments Received (£): 0

the Rent Arrears Tracker produces:

  • Total Owed: £144.00
  • Weeks Behind: 52
  • Action: Formal Notice

How it works

The result is derived through the following steps:

  1. totalOwed = (monthlyRent * monthsOwed) - partialPayments
  2. weeksArrears = monthsOwed * 4.3
  3. actionRequired = monthsOwed >= 2 ? 'Formal Notice' : monthsOwed >= 1 ? 'Reminder' : 'Monitor'
