What if the tenant refuses to pay the rent or damages the property?
Our referencing procedures help ensure that tenants who let through Lampons are reliable and trustworthy. We hold deposits and the tenancy agreement we use includes clauses that require tenants to pay the rent and not damage the property. In the unlikely event of a tenant breaching these covenants, there is a clear remedy through the courts. We will be happy to recommend specialist legal advisors and offer you every guidance in connection with an eviction and, if appropriate, the claiming of damages against the tenant. Lampons also provides landlords with access to comprehensive rent and legal protection insurance. This offers landlords the reassurance of knowing that the rent will be paid during the period of occupation and will cover costs involved with an eviction (see policy for further details). We also recommend that landlords maintain an appropriate buildings and contents insurance policy. Lampons can arrange this through specialist insurers.
