Private landlords in the centre of the United Kingdom face a crisis. Their inability to recover custody of their properties is being hampered by protracted judicial proceedings. The inadequacies of the judicial system have made the situation worse, which is why Paul Shamplina, the founder of Landlord Action, has drawn attention to the difficulties that landlords encounter.
Facing the Court Delays
Private landlords are caught in a quagmire of lengthy waits for court dates and possession orders. Even after a court order is issued, there are further obstacles, such as obtaining sealed court orders essential for bailiff evictions. This issue is particularly critical for landlords dealing with tenants who have ceased paying rent or have engaged in anti-social behavior. The plight of Dr. Renée Hoenderkamp, who endured a 13-month wait to regain possession of her property, is a perfect example of the struggle landlords face.
Impacts of Section 21 Abolition
The situation is set to become even more complicated with the proposed abolition of Section 21 eviction notices, which currently permit no-fault evictions. The abolition is feared to worsen the backlog of cases if additional court resources are not allocated. This impending change threatens to compound the issues landlords are facing, potentially creating an even more significant backlog of cases.
Call for Systemic Change
Shamplina has been vocal in advocating for reforms to mitigate the backlog and ensure a fair resolution process. One such proposed reform is allowing landlords to employ High Court Enforcement Officers in instances of substantial arrears. The current state of affairs is causing landlords significant frustration and financial hardship. Without systemic changes, there is little sign of improvement.
