Just about to take on a property where the rent is considerably behind and it's under rented.
I intend to take the tenants to the TT for rent arrears and have the agreed arrears catch up paid by means of an attachment order as the anticipated catchup period is in the vicinity of 2 years.
A few weeks into the catch up period, when the order is settled and running I intend to begin bringing the rent up to market.
My reasoning on using the attachment order is to ensure, as much as possible, the rent arrears is fully paid from W.I.N.Z. even should the tenant move to another property. Frankly, I want them to go but there are "circumstances" which make that difficult. One reason why the rent is considerably behind. I'd be very happy if they gave notice to leave.
My questions are:
Has anybody used an attachment order in this manner while the tenant is still residing in the property? and,
Is there anything I should ask at Mediation/TT to ensure the process of attachment to their benefit is smooth and trouble free?
