Why do you need LIS?
LIS offers quality and educated solutions to private landlords. It is
easy to believe that when a problem with your rental property arises
the only help available is with a solicitor. Many landlords believe
that rental or tenant problems can only be solved with a solicitors
help. LIS aims to dispel this belief.
As a landlord there are going to be times when tenancy problems arise,
which you just don't know how to solve. LIS can help you solve your
problems so that you continue to manage your rental properties
successfully and maximise your income.
LIS resolve problems arising from:
- tenants who don't pay their rent;
- tenants who abandon property; or
- anti social tenants that cause a nuisance.
Contact LIS for free advice and we will discuss your options. You can
then decide if you want to commission LIS. All our services can be
adapted to suit your individual needs. If you are uncertain about
commissioning our services please read some of our customer's comments

"I rate the overall services of LIS as excellent. They
have been very helpful all the way through". Heddi Greenwood Jan
2005
"When I was re-letting my property I found the documents
on this site very useful and easy to use. The tenancy agreement which I
bought was very detailed and thorough, covering just about every
situation from a landlords and tenants perspective. If I do get any
problems with my tenants (I hope not) I will certainly contact Landlord
Income Services for their advice and services". Jaz Bushell Jan 05

advice & excellent communication. I went to LIS as my own solicitor
couldn't help". Nov 2004
The unique & quality
services of LIS
When your tenant stops paying their rent, LIS will:
- Take prompt legal action serving notices on your
tenants quickly to minimize your debt and maximize your
income;
- Provide an independent and impartial mediation
between you and your tenant which facilitates the reaching of solutions
in disputes and problems; and
- Instruct solicitors to issue a claim at the County
Court for a possession order to evict your tenant; or
- Provide you with the essential tools
necessary to issue your own possession case to the County Court
for a possession order to evict your tenant, saving you the expense of
a solicitor.
Don't delay contacting LIS. The longer the problem
continues without taking any action, the more money you could lose.
The LIS service has three core elements:
- Advice about the legislation governing the landlord
& Tenant relationship;
- Practical advice and tips about letting your property
and securing the best tenants; and
- A service designed to help you quickly solve problems
when there is a landlord & Tenant dispute. We do this through
mediation, or serving notice or/and obtaining a possession order and
then evicting your tenant.
Making money through
rental properties is easy - isn't it?
No. Managing property successfully for profit isn't easy. To be
successful requires knowledge and hard work. Protecting and making a
return on your investment requires an understanding of the:
- Legislation governing the landlord & Tenant
relationship so that you know how to manage your properties
effectively;
- Practicalities of finding, interviewing and choosing
the right tenant for your property; and
- Techniques that can be used to quickly and legally
solve problems or disputes when they arise.
The unprepared landlord can quickly find that their asset:
- Not only fails to provide a rental return but;
- Becomes a never-ending drain on finances;
- A source of stress and an out of control nightmare;
and
- May even become the cause of court action initiated
by tenants, neighbours, the HSE, Police or local authorities against
the landlord.
Landlords should be aware that the legislation governing the landlord
& Tenant relationship provides rights and protection for both
parties. Failure to protect or respect the rights of your tenants may
leave the unprepared landlord facing not only considerable legal costs,
but also a criminal record.
Landlords who manage their own properties can benefit
from the services provided by LIS. You can select one of our services
or discuss a package rate where we just take control of the problem
until resolution. Whatever you choose we take prompt, effective and
impartial action.

- Free advice.
- Free downloadable documents to help landlords manage
their rental property efficiently.
Notices must be served
when a tenant breaches their tenancy agreement. A notice is the first
step towards a legal action and evicting your tenant.
- Preparation and service of notices for breaches not
paying the rent or any other breach of the tenancy agreement.
Many landlord and
tenant problems can be solved without the need for costly legal action.
LIS provide a mediation service to landlords that require a dispute to
be resolved. LIS can act as an independent and impartial mediator who
facilitates compromising solutions where possible.
In providing this
service, LIS will establish contact with tenants and discuss openly in
a non-judgmental manner the sources of friction endangering the
tenancy. LIS will seek to ensure that the landlord's rights and
property are protected, whilst also relaying any concerns that the
tenant may have to the landlord. LIS will at the same time explain to
the tenant quite clearly the possible results of any failure to comply
with their tenancy agreement.
If you want to evict
your tenant you must have served a notice on them. Once the notice has
expired, papers (particulars of a claim) are filed to the County Court
requesting for a possession proceedings to be issued. There are two
ways in which to make a claim for possession at the County Court.
- Accelerated - this is a fast track possession
procedure that does not usually require a hearing. A possession order
is granted around 8 weeks from when the court receives the particulars
of a claim. Once a possession order is granted it can take a further 4
weeks for an eviction date with the bailiffs to be fixed. Total time
for re-possession is around 12 weeks.
- Possession with full hearing - to obtain a possession
order through this route a hearing date is usually set by the County
Court around 12 weeks from when the particulars of claim are received
by the Court. It takes a further 4 weeks to obtain an eviction date
from the bailiffs. Total time for re-possession around 16 weeks.
For further details on the differences between the two routes of
possession follow this link.
Service 4 includes the full:
- Management of the instruction of solicitors for
accelerated possession proceedings.
- Management of the instruction of solicitors for
possession proceedings with a hearing.
A handholding service is provided by LIS for those landlords who wish
to commence with possession proceedings in the County Court, and who
also want to learn how to do it themselves. This service is for those
landlords who want to complete their own particulars of claim, send
them to the court and represent themselves at the possession hearing.
Solicitors are not used for this service.
LIS provides two eviction services:
- Instruction of bailiffs for evictions or;
- Instruction of bailiffs for eviction and attend the
eviction.
Locksmiths can be arranged at an additional charge.
- Provision of free advice on the collection of your
former tenant arrears'. The use of the Small Claims Court and debt
collector agencies.
There are occasions when you just want your property back. For example
if want to sell your property. In these cases LIS can offer a full
possession package. We will commence with the service of notice,
correspond with your tenant and advise them on action being taken,
complete court papers and file to court for a possession hearing,
obtain a possession order and apply to the bailiffs for an eviction
date. The complete service starts at a very competitive price of
£780.
