What Is CRAR?

Whilst the Rent Act 1977 is used to prevent landlords of residential properties the ability to recover unpaid rent through seizing goods, commercial landlords are still able to do this.

The CRAR Process allows landlords to recover overdue rent without needing a court order. However, this only applies to commercial tenancies subject to a written commercial lease. The nonpayment of rents must be at least 7 days’ worth or more at the time that the Notice is served and at the time of enforcement, and landlords do not have the rights to seize goods – this can only be actioned by a certificated enforcement agent, such as DCBL’s.

DCBL’s Process

Once you have filled out a Warrant of Control, you can instruct DCBL to recover commercial rent arrears. Upon instruction, our specialist CRAR team will begin the enforcement action of recovering the rent which starts with issuing a 7-day notice to your commercial tenant.

If your tenant doesn’t pay, we will schedule an attendance from our certificated agents who will enter the commercial property and take control of goods. These will then be sold at a public auction.
