Now that is a judgement that one may easily make from the small number of
facts before us, but may be wholly erroneous. And that is the absolute
danger of the actions that the employee took.
There are many legitimate reasons for arrears and these may have nothing to
do with the nature of the individual in arrears.
Without the full facts we can't judge whether the individual is a bad payer,
or simply has other valid reasons for erratic payment.
The judgement you made shows how easily defamation may occur. And
defamation is actionable.

Perhaps they shouldn't have tried to 'help him out' and tell him to pay his
arrears before they gave the first reference. He is obviously a bad tenant
and if the proper reference had been given, none of this might have
happened.
