π¨ Struggling with Unpaid Commercial Rent?
Here’s How CRAR Can Help – Even If You’ve Never Instructed Bailiffs Before
If you’re a commercial landlord or property manager and your tenant has fallen behind on rent, you’re not alone.
But here’s the good news:
You don’t need to go to court. You don’t need a solicitor. And you
don’t have to chase tenants who won’t pay.
There’s a powerful legal tool at your disposal — and it’s called CRAR.
πΌ What is CRAR?
Commercial Rent Arrears Recovery (CRAR) is a legal process that allows landlords to recover unpaid commercial rent by instructing certificated enforcement agents (bailiffs) to take control of a tenant’s goods.
β‘οΈ
No court order required
β‘οΈ
Fast, legal, and cost-effective
β‘οΈ
Applies to commercial leases only
β Who Can Use It?
You can use CRAR if:
- You’re a landlord of commercial property
- The lease is written and clearly identifies rent
- There’s no residential part (unless let separately)
π What Does CRAR Cover?
CRAR can only be used to recover pure rent — that’s the base rent agreed in the lease.
β No service charges
β No insurance
β No utilities
(Those require different enforcement routes. Don't worry - we can still help!)
π When Can You Use CRAR?
Once 7 days’ rent is overdue (excluding Sundays and Bank Holidays), you can instruct enforcement agents.
They’ll serve a Notice of Enforcement giving the tenant 7 clear days to pay or respond.
πͺ What Happens If They Don’t Pay?
If the tenant doesn’t act:
- Enforcement agents attend the premises
- Goods can be taken under a Controlled Goods Agreement
- Or removed and sold to clear the debt
It’s a serious, lawful step — and one that usually gets results quickly.
