Legal Definitions - en arere

En arere refers to something that is overdue or outstanding from a previous period of time. It indicates a debt, payment, or obligation that should have been fulfilled in the past but has not yet been.

• Example 1: Rent Payments

  Imagine a tenant who has not paid their monthly rent for the last three months. In this situation, the landlord would consider the three months of unpaid rent to be en arere. This illustrates the term because the payments were due in the past (for each of the preceding months) but remain unfulfilled.

• Example 2: Child Support Obligations

  Consider a court order requiring a parent to pay a specific amount of child support every week. If that parent fails to make these payments for several consecutive weeks, the accumulated missed payments are considered en arere. This demonstrates the term as these are financial obligations that should have been met in the past according to the court's directive but are now outstanding.

• Example 3: Unpaid Utility Bills

  Suppose a homeowner receives their electricity bill, and it includes a balance from the previous billing cycle that was not paid. That outstanding balance from the prior period is en arere. This shows the term in action because it represents a debt for services already provided and due in the past, which has not yet been settled.
