No Bailiff Enforcement Over Festive Period<\/p><\/div>A seasonal reminder to landlords and letting agents that Bailiff Amnesty\u2019s will begin around 12th December 2011 to the 9th January 2011. Please check your local County Court for more details.<\/p>\n

The amnesty, which is not widely publicised, is implemented due to local authority offices, solicitors, courts and housing welfare organisations festive holiday closures.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for landlords, the festive season of good cheer can be one of the costliest periods due to an increase in rent arrears, especially from LHA tenants.<\/p>\n

Up to the end of 2010, there were 995,000 LHA tenancies and rent arrears in this sector were thought to be in excess of \u00a3290 Million (GBP).<\/p>\n

This year research indicates that there are now over 1Million LHA tenancies and with more changes to the Government\u2019s Welfare Reform Bill due to be implemented on 1st January 2012, rent arrears are expected to increase further.<\/p>\n

Landlords are urged to act fast when dealing with defaulting tenants, especially at Christmas as courts experience backlogs of paperwork and hearings in the New Year.<\/p>\n

Speak to your local office now or call our free phone help line \u2013 0800 840 7133<\/p>\n
