Tenant owes rent
and is still in property
To reclaim rent or to get residential tenants out, first a notice is served. This first step is often all that's needed. To draft a notice with specific tenancy agreement and case particulars takes time and expertise. This is important because a well-drafted notice will save you time and thousands of pounds if the tenant doesn't leave or pay immediately and you need to go to Step-2.
Step 1
In 48 hours we serve notices on the tenant. This shows you mean business. Often it's the only jolt a tenant needs. If they don't act we can go straight to Step 2.
Step 2
Proceedings issued, court date set and advocate instructed. He appears before a judge to get a possession order. If tenant doesn't act, we can go to Step 3.
Step 3
Only an obstinate tenant doesn't leave by a date set by the court. We arrange for officials to remove the tenant.
Quick Advice
Minor mistakes or using the wrong section of the act are the most common reasons for cases being thrown out - after its taken 8 weeks to get to court! Then you'll have to start all over, pay more fees and carry on losing rent. So don't serve any notice yourself unless you are very confident.
Don't wait to act. Serve a notice as soon as there are arrears. If they pay up that's fine. If not, the quick action will limit your losses.
