Commercial eviction and CRAR

Assist a Landlord also provides specialist support for landlords dealing with commercial properties, offering expert guidance and action when business tenants fail to meet their lease obligations. One of the key services in this area is Commercial Rent Arrears Recovery (CRAR) — a statutory process that enables landlords to recover unpaid rent from commercial tenants without initially going through lengthy court proceedings. Under CRAR, certified enforcement agents serve a formal enforcement notice giving the tenant a minimum of seven days to settle the debt; if the tenant fails to do so, these agents can take control of the tenant’s commercial goods and, where necessary, remove and sell them to satisfy the outstanding rent, VAT, and interest owed. CRAR applies only to written commercial leases and focuses strictly on rent arrears, helping landlords protect their cash flow and investment.

Beyond CRAR, Assist a Landlord’s commercial team can assist with all aspects of commercial eviction, including serving the relevant enforcement notices, coordinating with High Court Enforcement Officers, and helping recover possession of the premises once arrears remain unpaid. Their service also covers managing the detailed inventory and valuation of goods when enforcement action is taken, ensuring compliance with legal requirements while maximising the chance of recovering the amounts owed. Throughout the process, landlords benefit from professional support tailored to the unique legal and practical challenges of commercial property management.

Whether you’re facing persistent commercial rent arrears, need to take enforcement action under CRAR, or want to regain control of your property efficiently and lawfully, Assist a Landlord delivers robust solutions backed by experience and a commitment to protecting your investment.
