Your business shouldn’t suffer because your tenant's has

Just because your tenant's business is suffering, it doesn't mean yours should too. If monies are owed you need to get them. Sometimes this can be handled by the sale of some of your tenant's assets and they can continue their tenancy, sometimes the tenant needs to leave so you can get new, paying tenants, in.

Even if the property is part of a long term lease, you can still claim the money your commercial tenant owes you.

A Certified bailiff is instructed to get the rent or seize goods to cover the value of the debt. Any further bailiff's costs are charged to the tenant, except in exceptional circumstances - where the auction of the seized goods does not cover the transportation, storage of the goods and the bailiff's fees. Under those circumstances the landlord pays the difference. Before a bailiff visits a property, a letter of notice is served so the tenant is aware of the planned visit, allowing them to get their finances in order.

If a tenant has broken clause, the lease can be forfeited at any time. A Certified bailiff can be instructed to go to the property with your locksmith and seize control of the property for the landlord. The tenant will have no further right to enter the property.
