Rental arrears." The lettings agent takes a proactive approach to monitoring rental income and take early intervention if there are any issues identified with a tenant. If required, the counal can undertake debt recovery action ensuring rent is received and arreats are managed. 7.3. Tenants vacatinglserving notice: Historically the rental units have been W occupied a low turnover of tenanis. Some of the units have been occupied by the same tenants for over ten years and dwillg the pandemic only one tenant ceased 10 trade, and they easily assigned their lease. showing the TesilieDce of the location. The location is attractive to a wide range of businesses due to its proximity to Mile End tube statton. a nearby university and residential eaS that provide a high level of footfall. With a large number of the tenants benefitting from Security of Tenure under the IAndlord and Tenant Act 1954. theywould have to serve notÉce on the landlord to leave. As a result, there will be at 1&95t a 3-month notice period. which will assist in the markering of the unit and would hopefully mitigate the ri$k of a void period and loss of income. In the event of a unit being vacant for a peii(Nl of time the Chlty could utilise the council's Meanwhile Use programme to ten)porarily occupy a vacant uniz with a 'pop-up' shop, thereby maintaining the vitaliry of the location.

Breaches of leases: Lease5 are monitoied by the letting agent and the Park managemenc team with support from the counal s enforcemenr and legal teams if required. This approach enables any breaches or compliancy issues to be resolved as quickly as p0&8ible. 7.5. In addiuon to rental income. the Charity also relies on income generated through the venue hire of the kns and Ecology Pavilions. The Park management team promotes and mallages bookings for the pavilion& which aTe uow well-established venues for weddings, prlvate, commercial and CoLTOra events that generate income. Improvements include setting up an Insragram account, which has helped to increase the number of enquiries and bookings.

Costs of Repairs and Maintenance: The Park management tearn operates a comprehensive inspection 2nd repair regime for the Charity's land and faeilities.
