If a landlord has served notice and it\u2019s ignored, their only option is to go through the courts. Not only does the landlord often lose out on being paid rent by the rogue tenant, they also have to pay the court for the privilege of getting rid of them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the new fees:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Issuing proceedings in the county court have increased from \u00a3280 to \u00a3355<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Issuing proceedings on PCOL (Possession Claim Online) have increased from \u00a3250 to \u00a3325<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This fee increase is disappointing news for landlords already under financial strain. It\u2019s especially disappointing for there to have been instant implementation without notice. Given the issues being faced by landlords further down the eviction process with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.withcreative.co.uk\/lforl\/landlords-beware-the-problem-with-bailiff-appointments\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">delay in bailiff appointments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we would expect the courts to ensure the administrative procedures involved with eviction to be ironed out before introducing fee increases. That being said, we would hope that this increase results in speedier applications and, ultimately, speedier evictions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recognise the strains these circumstances are putting on landlords, so to help you go through this process &#8211; and to minimise your losses &#8211; we are now offering a <\/span><b>free of charge<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 6 month Rent Protection policy (normal cost \u00a375).
