Rent Arrears

RENT ARREAR lawyers GLASGOW, SCOTLAND

If rent arrears begin to arise in a commercial lease, it can be incredibly frustrating for the landlord, and stressful for the tenant.

There are a number of options open to commercial landlords where their tenant is not paying the rent. Our commercial lease dispute solicitors combine a detailed understanding of the laws of commercial leases and diligence with a practical approach. Options open to a landlord could include claiming on an insurance policy, beginning a commercial eviction process, raising a court action to recover the arrears, or (if your commercial lease is properly written, a service that our commercial property lawyers specialise in) recovering money via “summary diligence”. This is a type of shortcut that can allow a commercial landlord to skip a court action entirely, and proceed straight to attempting to recover money owed via, for instance, freezing money in bank accounts.

We don’t just advise you on the law – we discuss with you what the particular circumstances of your situation mean. For instance, your commercial landlord may not want to evict you because it would not be able to re-let the premises and its threats to evict you may be bluster. Equally, your commercial tenant may have no money, and so proceeding straight to a commercial eviction will save you time and money.

Their [MSHB] accuracy, efficiency, competence and knowledge cannot be bettered in Scotland.

You made (the process) seem very straightforward and simple for me and that was excellent. I had no doubt that I could count on them to do everything they could to ensure the best outcome for me. They were good listeners and very reliable. This was particularly impressive since they were supporting me internationally. I would highly recommend Miller Samuel Hill Brown in the future.

I can’t thank you and your team enough for all of your help and support.
