COMMON QUESTIONS
Payment Writ Questions, Answered
Find answers about Payment Writ eligibility, required documents, registration, fees and what happens after submission.
What is a Payment Writ and when can it be used?
A Payment Writ is a procedure that may be available for certain monetary claims where the amount claimed is clear, due and supported by documents. We review the available information and supporting records to help identify whether this procedure may be appropriate for your claim.
What types of rental debts may qualify for a Payment Writ?
Depending on the circumstances and supporting documents, claims may include outstanding rent, security deposit refunds, prepaid rent refunds, property damage or restoration costs, utilities and service charges, fines, or other clearly documented monetary obligations.
What documents do I need for a Payment Writ application?
The required documents depend on the claim. They may include the tenancy contract or Ejari, identification and authority documents, payment records, cheques, invoices, receipts, correspondence, legal notices and other documents establishing the amount claimed and the payment obligation.
Is a legal notice required before applying for a Payment Writ?
A formal demand or notification may be required before a Payment Writ application can proceed, depending on the claim and applicable procedural requirements. We review the available documents and circumstances and identify the procedural documents required before registration.
What happens after my Payment Writ application is registered?
After registration, the case is reviewed by an RDC official. If additional documents, information or amendments are required, the applicant will receive a notification stating that the case has been rejected. At this stage, “rejected” means that additional requirements or amendments need to be completed before the application can proceed. We will assist with the required procedural updates and resubmission.
If the application is approved, the applicant will receive a notification to pay the applicable court fees. We will provide the court fee voucher and payment link. Once the fees are paid, the system will schedule the hearing, and we will provide the case details, including the hearing date and the link to attend the hearing.
Do I have to attend hearings for a Payment Writ?
No. A Payment Writ application is generally decided based on the documents and evidence submitted with the application, without a hearing. The decision is issued after the submitted documents and claim are reviewed. If the matter proceeds to a grievance or another court procedure, different procedural requirements may apply.
What happens if the Payment Writ is accepted and the decision is issued in my favor?
If the Payment Writ is accepted and a decision is issued in your favor, there is generally a 15-day period for challenging the decision, calculated from the day following the notification of the decision. Once the applicable challenge period has expired and the decision is enforceable, the applicant may proceed with opening a Judgment Enforcement case to enforce the Payment Writ decision.
RentFlow can assist with the typing, document preparation and registration of the Judgment Enforcement application and subsequent procedural requests within the scope of our services.
What happens if the Payment Writ is rejected?
If the Payment Writ is rejected, the applicant may challenge the decision by filing a Grievance against the Payment Writ within the applicable deadline. RDC currently provides a specific grievance procedure for Payment Writ decisions. We can assist with typing, document preparation and registration support for the grievance application.
If you require legal advice on the grounds of challenge or how to argue the grievance, you should consult a qualified lawyer.
The grievance should be filed within 15 days of the relevant decision or notification, subject to the applicable RDC rules and circumstances.
Can RentFlow represent me in a Payment Writ proceeding?
No. RentFlow provides document preparation, typing, registration and procedural follow-up support. We do not provide legal advice or act as your legal representative.
If you require legal advice or representation, you should consult a qualified lawyer.
