As a landlord one of the most worrying thoughts you can have is that your tenants might stop paying their rent! This scenario can have serious side effects as you may have a buy to let mortgage to pay, outstanding repair invoices that need attention and not to mention your own lives to fund!
It isn’t unreasonable to think that your tenant could get into financial trouble, often through no fault of their own, for example through redundancy or a relationship break down. There is only so much that tenant references can do to mitigate the risk of renting out your home.
A question I am often asked by my clients is “If my tenants get behind with their rent or stop paying altogether what are my legal rights and how do I go about getting my property back?” I know first hand that it can seem like a daunting and confusing process if you haven’t had to deal with it before. So with this in mind my next event the Landlord Clinic – Top Tips to Avoid Problems will guide you through the following:
We have teamed up with Luscombe Gray solicitors, who are experts when it comes to dealing with landlord problems, to host this event on Wednesday 2ndOctober 2019 at the West Park Hotel, Harrogate. The event will start with an informal drinks reception and a chance to talk to other likeminded individuals in an informal setting.
Chris Luscombe and I will be on hand to answer any questions you may have and to present to you on the topics being covered.
