ABSTRACT

A tenant must show the court that, if a new tenancy is granted, there will be no delay in paying the rent. Evidence of the tenant’s finances should be given to the court. It may be wise for the tenant to offer some form of security, such as a guarantor, the advance payment of rent, or the deposit of a lump sum, although where this was done in Rawashdeh v Lane, a new tenancy was not granted. A tenant who receives a notice specifying opposition under ground (b) should therefore start paying the rent on time and put forward proposals guaranteeing future payments.
