How much is owed for rent?
- The tenancy ended on 5 October 2025. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Having sighted the landlord rent ledger I am satisfied that the tenant is responsible for the outstanding rent debt.
- The claim for rent arrears is proven.
