What is a payment in default?

Payments in Default

The Tenant agrees to pay for any payments in default which are allowed under the Renting Homes (Fees Etc.) (Wales) Act 2019 when requested in writing from the Landlord/Agent. Such payments can include:

· Missed appointments – such as a landlord/agent arranging with a tenant for a contractor to carry out remedial work at a property, and a tenant subsequently refusing entry, or not being home to allow entry, resulting in charges to the landlord.

· Avoidable or purposeful damage to property – damage to a property caused by neglect or careless or wilful behaviour by the tenant.

· Replacement keys – when there is a loss of keys by the tenant – the Landlord’s actual cost of replacing, changing, adding, or removing a key or security device to access the Property upon receipt of written evidence of the costs incurred by the Landlord will be charged.

· Emergency/out of hours call-out fees – fees incurred because of a landlord/agent arranging for someone to attend the tenant’s property at the request of a tenant, such as a locksmith or an emergency glazier at the early hours of the morning, when the problem had been caused by the tenant in the first place, such as a window broken on purpose, or keys locked inside a house.
