As the cost-of-living squeeze continues across the UK, rent arrears have become a mounting concern for landlords. According to the latest reports from Propertymark and NRLA, late payments have risen over 20% year-on-year in some regions. For property owners trying to juggle mortgage obligations, maintenance costs, and regulatory compliance, unreliable rental income can quickly snowball into serious financial stress.

So, how can landlords shield their income in this climate? Start by screening tenants thoroughly - not just credit checks, but affordability assessments and reliable references. Incorporating rent guarantee insurance has also become a lifeline for many landlords. But most crucially, professional property management can act as your first line of defence. From regular rent collection and arrears chasing to mediating sensitive tenant communication and even legal support when needed, having a management team in place keeps your income flow smooth—even when economic ripples hit.
