As a consequence of the recession we are experiencing higher volumes of rent arrears. In the past we have handled arrears situations on our own. However, we recently appiointed a solicitor to act for us in the collection of arrears when the cases begin to look serious.

All of our landlords are covered by the fees that we pay to our solicitor up to the point of commencing court action. Our solicitor will make efforts to collect payment and promptly commence legal action where necessary.

We recommend attempting to negotiate a payment plan in most arrears cases and where this is honoured obviously everyone benefits. In the cases where the is no co-operation then we recommend using our solicitor to commence action and get a resolution as fast as possible.
