RPC Lends A Helping Hand To Landlords

Online, July 30, 2012 (Newswire.com) - RPC Lettings, a fully licensed real estate firm providing comprehensive property management, letting services and home rental assistance across UK, has announced consultancy services for landlords with problem tenants. Landlords who face problems with tenants who fail to pay the rent, damage the property and disturb neighbours can follow long established legal processes for tenant eviction. However, landlords need to be aware of their responsibilities under the law to avoid lengthy delays when trying to evict tenants. No matter what problems the tenant may be causing the landlord, landlords still need to ensure they follow the letter of the law.

Timothy Mark, RPC Letting's lead property manager said, "When landlords are being put in an extremely difficult situation by non-paying tenants, they might sometimes forego certain aspects the legal process required to evict tenants. However, we cannot emphasise strongly enough the dangers of this route. Tenant eviction can be legally handled with the minimum possible disruption to the landlord.Landlords enduring prolonged problems could be tempted to take the situation into their own hands. This may be particularly the case if tenants are behaving as though they are beyond the law. Some tenants may still occupy the property even after initial eviction notices have been correctly served. It has been known for landlords to attempt to change the locks, or regain possession of their property by literally trying to physically throw the offending tenant out."

He further added," We successfully resolve all cases of tenant eviction in favour of our landlords, even in the face of the most belligerent tenants. We always regain the property in a professional, legal manner. In some cases, we're sure this helps our clients avoid the 'tipping point' - where other landlords have perhaps felt desperate enough to try to confront their tenants and tell them to leave, with disastrous results for all concerned".
