Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Commercial Rent Arrears Recovery (CRAR)?

CRAR is a legal process that allows commercial landlords to recover rent arrears by taking control of a tenant’s goods and selling them at public auction if necessary. It replaced the common law remedy of distress for rent in 2014.

What are the requirements to use CRAR?

To use CRAR: the property must be commercial (not residential), there must be a written lease agreement, the landlord must have the right to immediate possession, and only pure rent arrears (not service charges or insurance) can be recovered.

How much notice must be given before CRAR enforcement?

A minimum 7-day notice period must be given to the tenant before any enforcement action can begin.

What costs are involved with CRAR?

Shergroup operates on a fixed fee plus commission structure. The fixed fees cover the regulatory notices and enforcement visits, while commission is charged on funds successfully recovered.

Can CRAR be used for mixed-use properties?

CRAR can only be used if the property is predominantly used for commercial purposes. The exact determination depends on specific circumstances and may require legal advice.

What goods can be taken under CRAR?

Only goods belonging to the tenant can be seized. Certain items are exempt, including items essential for the tenant’s personal use or needed for their business (up to a value of £1,350), and third-party goods.

How long does the CRAR process take?

The process begins with a 7-day notice period. The total timeline varies depending on whether the tenant pays promptly or if enforcement escalates to taking control of goods and potential sale.

Can a tenant stop the CRAR process?

Yes, a tenant can stop the process by paying the outstanding rent plus any enforcement fees incurred to date.

Does CRAR affect the landlord-tenant relationship?

While CRAR is a formal legal process, Shergroup’s approach aims to maintain professional relationships wherever possible, often facilitating payment arrangements that benefit both parties.

What happens if there are insufficient goods to cover the debt?

If the tenant’s goods are insufficient to cover the debt, the landlord may need to explore alternative recovery methods, which Shergroup can advise on.
