Rent arrears - tenant evictions have been banned due to Covid-19 - Ten things landlords cannot do when a tenant is in rental arrears: Ten Commandments
Rent arrears: Things you cannot do, even if your tenant does not pay rent
Rental arrears are rife. Particularly in this current pandemic. According to the telegraph, “there are more than 2,400 eviction court cases waiting to be heard – meaning some evictions may be delayed until next year” .. “More than 300,000 renters may have fallen behind with monthly payments”
Landlords have been banned from evicting tenants who are not paying rent. They have power, but they feel powerless. They have got teeth, but they are not allowed to bite. The primary option landlords had in these circumstances was evicting non-paying tenants. That is no longer an option. That option has been taken away. These are desperate times for landlords. Whilst desperate times call for desperate actions, landlords are reminded not to allow these desperate circumstances to encourage you to take desperate actions. Desperate actions often lead down a downward spiral. The resultant consequences could be dire.
Today’s episode serves as a reminder of the ramifications of taking matters into our own hands by using unlawful self-help mechanisms to try to recover the rent or to evict your tenants. It provides a list of ten things we, as landlords, must avoid: the ten commandments. We discuss breach of quiet enjoyment; harassment and unlawful eviction.
