Warrant of Control

The Common Law Right of Distress was abolished on the 6th of April 2014 and a new regime, CRAR, introduced by the Tribunals Courts & Enforcement Act 2007 and regulations made thereunder. The fundamental changes are that premises must be purely commercial.

Rent cannot include insurance or service charges etc. The new requirement is to give a Seven-Day Notice of Enforcement to the tenant before further action. This notice must be given by the Enforcement Agent.
