Hi, looking for some info please. I had a tenant that stopped paying rent, got rid of him now but left with a bill of over $5000. NCAT hearing has been held and orders done for what was submitted. My question is, what happens next. I've looked at the Lawaccess info that says to get a certified copy and lodge with the court so debt recovery can happen, but what info on the tenant do I need to provide. I really don't know where he is. Local cops will know though, can I go to them and ask? Any info on how it works next would be really welcome. What do I have to provide the court other than the orders? Anyone know the costs to lodge with the court? I know I can recover some of the costs through insurance however I want to avoid it if I can make him pay.. Thanks
Yes, insurance won't pay for about 1500 of it. For various reason I'd like to try debt recovery not insurance.
Debt recovery is possible if you have an order, try Barclay MIS who take a portion in exchange for chasing it down. Insurance is a far better option. Can't get blood out of a stone.
Thanks for the info. Would you have any idea if I can do both, chase him for the bits insurance doesn't cover?
Police won't help you. You would have to find an address to serve him court papers and to recover money.
I know he's going to court for a hearing soon, for something else, could I serve him papers on that day, I don't know his address or where to find him, he's laying low at the moment.
What's the difference between Barclays MIS and landlord insurance through say EBM? i.e. what value do you get for taking on both? I thought the landlords insurance would cover you for rent defaults anyway?
