Commercial Rent Recovery

One of our most frequently used services is commercial rent recovery. Many tenants do not pay by direct debit, and regardless of their covenant become casual concerning payment on time. So increasingly landlords and their agents, take advantage of the common law right to levy distress for rent.

When rent is overdue, traditional methods of recovery are often protracted and cumbersome. To overcome this, the landlord can exercise his unique common law right to appoint a bailiff who without recourse to the courts, can levy distress on goods and assets at the demised premises.
