If you own some commercial properties in Haringey, there are several reasons why you may consider taking your premises back, the commonest reason is a breach of the lease terms by the tenants, and lack of proper Haringey property maintenance, payment default, constituting nuisance to the community, and subletting the premises without your permission are some outstanding reasons why you may consider the eviction option.
Forfeiture is a term used when a property in Haringey is recovered from the tenant's occupation.
And, if there is a specific clause in the contract that requires you to do so, you can only void the lease.
Every commercial lease in Greater London should have such a clause in your tenancy agreement that would increase your chances of taking back possession of your premises.
If you ascertained your rights to forfeit in Haringey, you can do so using two ways:
Under this arrangement, you change the locks on the premises in Crouch End, Seven Sisters, or Bowes Park.
This is a risky option and your tenant may feel unfairly treated and apply for relief from forfeiture from the Greater London court, which means the tenant repossess your property in Haringey aside from claiming compensation for whatever losses they incurred during the wrongful and forceful eviction.
This is the commonly preferred method in Haringey, the downside is that, like any court case, it may be expensive and time consuming so it should only be used after all else has failed.
The reason for the repossession helps with choosing the right route.
You don't have to issue any notice of your plans to forfeit for non-payment of rent in Haringey simply because you can re-enter the property.
It is not mandatory to agree on the continuity of the tenancy in Haringey such as prompt the tenant of any rent that is unpaid, as this may lead to a waiver of your right to forfeit and you will have to wait until the following rent settlement is unpaid.
It's also recommended to leave a letter of repossession of the property on the door in Crouch End, Bowes Park, or Seven Sisters and to be accompanied with a witness such as a locksmith or solicitor.
In case of any other breaches, you must serve a section 146 notice before you are bound to premises repossession in Haringey.
Your solicitor must serve the notice to everyone involved including the landlord, subtenant and the tenant in Greater London.
Nature of violation in Haringey must be mentioned on notice with its solution which can either be remedial action or in form of compensation amount within a specific deadline.
The landlord can only proceed with the forfeiture of the lease if the breach wasn't remedied at the given time.
Additional rules in Haringey extend on notifications relevant to fix violations.
In some circumstances, you may be imposed to give the occupant in Seven Sisters, Bowes Park, or Crouch End the chance to maintain statutory security.
If the tenant in Haringey demands this protection, which they must do within 4 weeks of receiving a section 146 notice, the property owner must make an initial claim asking for permission from the court in Greater London prior acting further.
This can be avoided if the lease contains a clause allowing the landlord to enter the premises in Haringey in order to remedy any repair defect and claim any costs incurred as a debt by the tenant.
The court forfeiture procedure begins by applying for possession in the county court in Greater London.
You must complete some standard claim forms and in Haringey you can submit them online.
The claim forms must then be served to the Haringey tenant through your solicitor, within a strict time-frame.
Legal advice is suggested in this case as it is a complicated part of the law and mistakes could cause delays in repossession in Seven Sisters, Crouch End, or Bowes Park and cost money.
In some specific conditions, your tenant can apply for relief from forfeiture in the court in Greater London.
But, this doesn't imply that the leaseholder can enjoy the right automatically as it is an open cure found in court and if the leaseholder is handed the right, it implies that they may continue staying on the Haringey premises under the current tenancy.
The Haringey tenant shouldn't delay the relief from forfeiture application and they should submit it as soon as they are served the Section 146 notice as unnecessary delay may attract some penalty.
