What can I do if my tenant does not pay the rent?

In this article, we explain:

One of the main fears we have observed in our clients when they make their property available for rent is the possibility that the stipulated payments may not be made. For everyone’s peace of mind, we at Gumper must say that such situations are more exceptional than usual. 

However, with a purely preventive character, we will provide you with information on how you should act if you find yourself in such a problematic situation. We need to make a first distinction between what constitutes arrears and non-payment.
Arrears imply that the tenant pays late, even if it is just a few days, the amount determined for the enjoyment of the property. Non-payment means that this payment is not made. 
However, legally, both circumstances can be classified in the same way.
When we are in these situations and after having encountered this situation several times, we will need to try to resolve the issue with our tenant by providing them with a written notice. 

If after trying, they continue with the same attitude, legal action can be taken. Through legal action, we can request that the amounts owed to us be paid, that the contract we have established be terminated, or that the tenant be evicted.

Currently, one of the guarantees of working with a professional is that we help you manage insurance in case of non-payment, so when we take on the task of finding the perfect tenant for your property, at Gumper we also provide you with everything necessary to ensure you can be at ease regarding the coverage and trust in the returns of your rental.
