PROBLEM AREAS FOR LANDLORDS:  Landlords have four main problem areas which can be rectified using the Small Claims Track: Rental arrears. Delapidations,damages and inventory shortfalls. Clearance of rubbish/debris. Failure of letting agents in terms of their contact. When the rental deposit does not cover the cost of putting damages right it is necessary for a landlord to ask the tenant for the shortfall in writing from the tenant. Tenants often leave without notice leaving the landlord to clear up the property, make good the damage and suffer the loss of rental income. In some cases the letting agents do not adequately manage the property as per their contract. Inventory checks are late, inaccurate or non-existant and rent arrears are allowed to accumulate.   What we need The name, address and post code of the property.

We charge a commision of 12% minus our administration charge on the recovered debt. See our costs example for a typical case. The court fees which are returned to you, usually awarded by the district judge or magistrate are unaffected. Please do not forget that when proceedings are issued the relevant Court fees must be paid in advance plus a small fee to small-claims-debt UK Ltd for the filing of the documents at the Court - Upon a successful conclusion these are always awarded as an additional sum charged to the defendant.
