I would like clarification on what I might expect from an agent if a tenant doesnt pay the rent. What would happen? Would the agent take court proceedings? Process eviction? what? I have an agent with a tenant who I suspect will default and I want to be prepared.

Depends what you agreed in the Terms of Business you signed. There shouldn't really be grey areas.

Definitely check your Terms of Business with the agent or just ask them what their procedures are when rent isn't paid.

Rent Insurance is a good idea as it means you don't need to take legal action yourself when rent isn't paid.

My experience of agents is they often don't have a setup in place to take legal action when rent isn't paid.
