Frequently asked questions

We’ve continued to provide this service throughout COVID-19, with no disruption to new business or renewals. This is despite the changes the evictions process since the beginning of the pandemic, with new court processes, extended notice periods, and an evictions ban in place over winter 2020-2021 period. 

We’ll cover the eviction for rent arrears, serving the Section 8 notice, arranging a legal advocate, paying court costs and organising a bailiff. We’ll also evict for some other serious breaches. The main ones include subletting, illegal activity, unauthorised occupants and failure to vacate after a Section 21 notice - the case must have a 51% (or higher) chance of success in court, as determined by DAS Law.

This provides legal expenses and support where the tenant leaves with over £1,000 of damage in the property. Your deposit is used and then any damages over and above that amount will be chased through the money judgement process. Please be aware we need to be able to trace the tenant for you to benefit from this.
