Tenant hasn’t paid rent whilst being put up in hotel

My tenant has been on time with the rent for two years. There was a leak in the bathroom so the insurance company is paying for him to stay in a hotel of his choice u til works are completed.
He hasn’t paid me the rent for coming up two month now.
I initially left him a voicemail explaining that I haven’t received the rent. Then a text a few days after but no response.

His furniture Is still in situ, but he has told electrical provider that I’m now responsible for the bill, his fish are dead floating in the fish tank so it’s hard to tell if he intents to move back?

My question is - how should I go about this situation?

Many thanks

Which hotel is in he in
Go and speak to him

Get on and serve notice for rent arrears
There is no reason for him not to pay rent serve s8 to his rental
Is his mail being collected ?

Take a deed of surrender and a witness to the hotel and suggest he surrenders or you will pursue him for unpaid rent through the courts.
