Rent Arrears

If your tenant is failing to pay the rent, eviction is the only option.

There are a number of processes which you can follow to evict your tenant, one of which allows for the recovery of rent.

Serving a section 8 Notice allows a Landlord to issue a claim for the outstanding rent arrears provided the notice refers to grounds 8, 10, and 11.

At the hearing, when the courts make an order for possession of the property provided that the rent arrears can be proven the Court will make a money order, otherwise known as a County Court Judgement or CCJ, for the outstanding rent arrears to be paid usually within 14 days of the order.
