UK Landlord Forum / Life

Good Morning,
I manage my sister's property (owner/landlord), I deal with tenants, sign the agreement wit them as a manager of the house (in the tenancy agreement I act on behalf of the owner/landlord). Can i therefore take a legal action against the tenant over rent arrears? I send late payment notices, I contact tenants directly- evidence of rent arrears. I would like to point out that my sister-owner of the house currently does not live in the Uk and she is recovering from the operation that is why I manage her house, so it will be very difficult for her to attend any court hearing if necessary in the future,

Any articles, advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Maja

In a nutshell,yes.Your role is no different to that of a lettings agent doing full management.How long has the tenant lived there,and what action have you taken so far re.the arrears?
