Evicting a Tenant is Never a Happy Experience for Landlords
Not Happy…expensive and in the UK property market not an option to evict at the moment. Evictions are the last resort to get a non paying working tenant out of your property. Evictions takes up your energy as well as legal fees. How about if the non paying tenants trashes the property as well. We are in the process of buying a property exactly this case. Since March 2020 till last week one tenant did not pay and trashed the house. The want to be landlord living in London DUMPED the property. It is in legals right now.
Contrarily there are times when evicting a tenant can actually be a bad idea. Try communicating with the tenant. Hear why they are late. Considering the time an eviction process takes and the costs involved, it makes sense to look for alternatives to evicting someone. For example, you may be able to negotiate with some tenants to stay in the rental unit and catch up on their late payments.
However there are many working tenants who think that they can simply get away by not paying their rent.
This is a completely different story with social tenants. Good economy….bad economy….Covid. It does not matter, we get paid by the govt. More so each property has a housing officer. Which would you prefer, having a non paying tenant whom you can not evict or a social tenant on a 10 year backed contract with no voids… no managment and maintenance covered up to 5,000 a year unless structural.
