Commercial Rent Areas Recovery
  • Introduction
  • In the current uncertain economic climate, it is
    hardly surprising that landlords of commercial
    premises increasingly find themselves faced with
    defaulting tenants.

3
  • Faced with a tenant in arrears, a landlord has a
    number of options it can pursue to recover the
    money. In broad terms, a landlord may
  • Exercise the right of distress against the
    tenants goods,
  • Issue court proceedings for the amount
    outstanding,
  • Forfeit the lease.

4
  • A landlord can issue a debt claim for unpaid sums
    due under the lease. Such a claim will usually be
    pursued in the county court. A debt claim can be
    pursued whilst the lease is continuing, but may
    also be claimed 
  • As part of proceedings to forfeit the lease
  • Or after the lease is forfeit.

5
A landlord needs to think carefully before
issuing a claim. A tenant that is defaulting on
payments under its lease is likely to have cash
shortages and may have few (if any) valuable
assets against which any judgment obtained can
eventually be enforced.
6
A landlord should make enquiries as to any assets
that its tenant owns when debt proceedings are
contemplated.
7
Distress for rent is an ancient common law remedy
which allows landlords to recover arrears of rent
by seizing goods and selling them to cover the
arrears, without giving notice or obtaining
permission from the court.
