What happens if I miss a rent payment?

What happens if you miss a rent payment, and what to do if you're struggling to pay.

Written by Joe Wigoder

Your guarantee doesn't change your responsibility to pay your rent in full and on time. It's there to protect your landlord if something goes wrong.

What happens if rent isn't paid

Your landlord or letting agent reports the missed payment to Rentmigo. If the arrears continue, Rentmigo pays your landlord. The unpaid rent then becomes money you owe to Rentmigo, and we'll work with you to recover it.

Will you contact me?

Yes. We'll get in touch to understand what's happening and agree a way forward, such as a repayment plan.

What could happen if it isn't resolved?

  • Rentmigo may take legal action to recover the debt

  • It may affect your credit history

  • Your landlord may be able to end your tenancy

  • It may affect your ability to rent or get a guarantor in future

Struggling to pay?

Please talk to us as early as possible at support@rentmigo.co.uk, on live chat, WhatsApp or WeChat. The sooner we know, the more we can help.
