\nThe Coronavirus pandemic continues to exert its effect on the lettings industry.<\/p>\n

In a Nutshell<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bailiff enforced evictions extended in England until 31 May 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current 6 months\u2019 notice periods extended until at least 31 May 2021 except in the following circumstances:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Anti-social behaviour (four\u00a0weeks\u2019 notice)<\/p>\n

– False statements provided by the tenant (two\u00a0to four\u00a0weeks\u2019 notice)<\/p>\n

– Over 6 months\u2019 accumulated rent arrears (four\u00a0weeks\u2019 notice)<\/p>\n

– Breach of immigration rules under the \u2018Right to Rent\u2019 policy (three\u00a0months\u2019 notice)<\/p>\n

As well as an extension to the bailiff ban, landlords and letting agents will also still have to give six months\u2019 notice of their intention to evict. Scotland and Wales introduced similar measures banning eviction orders until 31 March 2021\u00a0\u2013 though these may be extended further still\u00a0\u2013 while in Northern Ireland, landlords need to give 12 weeks’ notice before eviction.<\/p>\n

What does this mean for you as a landlord?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tenants who were served with evictions notices late in May won\u2019t face physical eviction until at least November. For 50% of the sector, of whom only own one property, it is a tough situation and a rocky road ahead. The courts are inundated so it is vital you follow all pre-action protocol advice before taking action through the courts.\u00a0All avenues to reach an agreement should be exhausted before seeking repossession,\u00a0whether it be through reduced rent or short term payment plans.<\/p>\n

Are you one of the 65% of landlords without Rent Protection? Don’t delay,\u00a0<\/strong>buy it today<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Nil and one month excess policies available.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the pandemic has shown, circumstances can change. Your tenant could suddenly lose a job or fall ill. If they don\u2019t have reserves of cash to call on, it\u2019s highly likely that your rent payment may not arrive. Perhaps you can stand it for a week or two, but what if it drags on and the situation fails to improve? It\u2019s your income that\u2019s affected. Your mortgage payments on the property, your bills and you still need to keep the wolf from your own front door.\u00a0Rent protection insurance<\/a>\u00a0can really help. Even though there are some things you can\u2019t control, they don\u2019t have to ruin your finances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
