We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is a lease default notice?

A notice of default can result when a homeowner fails to pay as required under his mortgage or deed of trust. In a lease situation, a notice of default can be sent by either the landlord or tenant, claiming that one of them has violated a condition of the lease.

What happens when a tenant defaults on rent?

If there are serious rent arrears (for example, at least 2 months arrears where rent is due monthly) then the granting of a possession order by the Court is mandatory where the tenant does not vacate within the period specified in the notice.

What happens if you default on an apartment lease?

Defaulting on a lease means failing to fulfill your responsibilities as outlined in the agreement. This could involve missed rent payments or violating other terms, like subletting without permission. Defaulting on a lease often leads to legal consequences, including eviction.
