Rent arrears after eviction

Landlord Discussion
1

Hello,
We have got our property back couple weeks ago as Bailiff evicted the tenant and we got the possession after 20 months ( no rent for 20 months).

please suggest if we can get our rent arrears back, Council had supported the tenant while moving in but council housing team didn’t help us when she stopped paying rent.
I knows its hard in these situations but just a thought to check with experience persons.

Another point,
As we got that tenant via Openrent so wondering whether there is any register to share the details so that there should n’t be any new victim

Regards

You probably won’t get any money back, because I doubt the tenant has any and its them that are liable, not the Council. If you have the appetite for it, suing them for the arrears will at least get them a CCJ so that other landlords are forewarned.

You accepted a tenant supported by the council, so you knew they had no money. If their situation has not changed, they still have no money. You can issue proceedings cheaply via money claim online, and subsequently apply for a CCJ, but you can’t get money if they haven’t got it.

Lesson in life… tenants applying who have no money are a higher risk.

And do not take anyone on the councils list . You cannot trust the Local authority

Many thanks, Yes CCJ had been raised during the Bailiff process

Be aware that the CCJ wont automatically be regustered. You have to attempt to enforce yhe money judgement before that happens.
