rent arrears
Unpaid housing debt
Rent arrears is unpaid rent that has accumulated past its due date.
A tenant falls into arrears by missing payments, and the amount owed grows with each missed deadline: She was three months behind in rent arrears.
Landlords may pursue eviction or legal action to recover arrears.
