What Is CRAR?
Whilst the Rent Act 1977 stripped residential landlords of the ability to recover unpaid rent through seizing goods, commercial landlords are still able to do this.
The process of CRAR allows landlords to recover overdue rent without needing a court order. However, this only applies to commercial tenancies subject to a written lease. The rent arrears 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 certified enforcement agents, such as DCBL’s.
DCBL’s Process
Once you have filled out a Warrant of Control, you can instruct DCBL. Upon instruction, our specialist CRAR team will begin the enforcement action which starts with issuing a 7-day notice to your tenant.
If your tenant doesn’t pay, we will schedule an attendance from our certificated agents who will enter the property and take control of goods. These will then be sold at auction.
