Your location: Managing rent arrears - a local authority perspective
May 2004
Written by John Campaigne, Corporate Debt Manager, South Lanarkshire Council
South Lanarkshire Council's rent arrears policy is based on a strategy that involves preventative methods of control, using eviction as a last resort. Integral links have been established with the Council's Money Matters Advice Service to ensure arrears are dealt with taking into account both the personal and financial circumstances of each individual tenant.
