Reliable 24/7 Tenant Eviction Locksmiths for Landlords

Being a landlord can be tough with so many laws to abide by and trying to keep tenants happy, but when everything goes smoothly, it can be a great source of extra income or to pay off a mortgage in a buy-to-rent situation.

However, things can and do go wrong with rental properties, and nightmare tenants at times need to be evicted from your property due to non-payment of rent, breach of the tenancy agreement, or causing damage to the property.

As a specialist tenant eviction landlord in Essex, we can help with any issues relating to taking back possession of a property after a tenancy has ended and the tenant has been evicted.

What steps can a landlord take to evict a tenant?

There are various laws which protect tenants and outline what measures landlords can take in these circumstances, and a tenant might agree to leave the property amicably after an eviction.

In some cases, the tenant won’t leave as easily as you’d hoped for, and you need to get a court order and bailiffs to remove them from the rental property.

To ensure they can’t get back inside again, it’s essential to change the locks, as you don’t know if the keys have been copied, even if they return them.

It’s not a legal requirement to change the locks on a rental property, but it’s just good practice, especially if you’ve had a problematic or aggressive tenant you suspect will attempt to gain entry to the property again.

*Please note, we cannot attend a rental property to carry out a post-eviction lock change if you don’t have a Warrant of Possession issued by a court.

If an eviction date and time have already been set, we can be there with our specialist tools and equipment to gain access to the property, allowing the bailiff to clear the property (if required).
