Before a full N4 is the right move, a properly worded demand letter often resolves the file. Many tenants pay when they receive paralegal letterhead rather than a personal request from the landlord.
We send graduated collection letters in three stages: arrears notice, formal demand with statutory references, and pre notice warning. Each letter is signed by a licensed paralegal and references the RTA consequences clearly.
Landlords lose money chasing arrears. A documented demand sequence both motivates payment and creates a paper trail the LTB takes seriously at the hearing.
First letter issued within 24 hours of engagement. Full sequence over 14 days unless paid earlier.
