What will happen if the rent is in arrears?

If a tenant rents a landlord's house to live or operate, he must be able to pay the rent on time. If he doesn't pay the rent on time, he will violate the relevant terms of the rental contract. Is there any legal responsibility for defaulting on rent? Default of rent requires civil liability. Article 227 of China's Contract Law stipulates: "If the lessee fails to pay or delays in paying the rent without justifiable reasons, the lessor may require the lessee to deliver it within a reasonable period of time. If the lessee fails to pay within the time limit, the lessor may terminate the contract. " In addition, Article 1 14 of the Contract Law stipulates that the parties may agree that one party shall pay a certain amount of liquidated damages to the other party in case of breach of contract, so the breach of rent can also bear liquidated damages. According to Article 22 of the Measures for the Administration of Urban House Lease, "The lessee must pay the rent on time, and if he violates the contract, he shall pay the liquidated damages." Paragraph 4 of Article 24 of this Law also stipulates that if the rent is in arrears for more than six months, the lessor has the right to terminate the contract and recover the house, and the lessee shall compensate for the losses caused thereby.
