Napier Bailiffs

When To Call In The Bailiffs

If your tenant misses the deadline or terms of the agreement they recently made with you – then they have defaulted twice. The first time was when they didn’t pay the rent on time. The second was when they reneged on the provisional agreement.

This is enough to justify calling in your favourite bailiff.

We recognize that managing a commercial property requires more than cleaning, maintenance, and upkeep duties. Your owners and investors are counting on their property managers to protect their investments, to keep cash flowing , and to make sure the properties stay profitable. This means they rely on you to help attract viable business tenants and keep them happy.

Communicating regularly with the tenants has a huge positive impact. This includes cultivating an open, honest, professional business relationship (emphasis on the professional!!) and letting them know you care about them. Today’s commercial tenant faces fluctuating customer needs, global competition, and now, increased insecurity due to the impacts of COVID-19. This can sometimes negatively affect the tenant and their ability to pay rent regularly and on time. A property manager must be aware of these trends and threats, since by affecting the tenant, they will also impact the property owners.

BAILMENT: WHAT IS IT? HOW DOES IT WORK? WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
Bailment describes a legal relationship in common law where the physical possession of personal property, also known as chattel, is transferred from one person – generally the owner – to another person. The person who transfers the chattel is called the bailor, and the person who receives the chattel is called the bailee.

It’s important to note here that receiving a chattel does not mean that the bailee now owns the object; they simply possess it, perhaps holding on to it temporarily for safekeeping. Ownership still stays with the bailor.
