Hi,
I privately rented a flat on a ASHT, the tenant also stored two cars at the property.
The tenant could not keep up with the rent and was also causing some damage to the property, we went through the relevant process and amicably brought the tenancy to an end.
The tenant agreed to slowly pay the outstanding sum (around £3000) and cleared their other stuff.
However.. the tenant failed to repay the debt and has not responded to any communications for over 6 months.
Phone always goes to answerphone, no response to texts, no response to email, no forwarding address...
The two vehicles have been left, effectively abandoned.
Can I sell the vehicles, to cover the outstanding debt?
I assume I would need to get a transfer of keeper from the DVLA,
If the cars were sold, can I recover the owed debt and the for anything left over, attempt to contact the original owner again and hold the excess money for a given period of time?
Any advice ?
Thanks, J.
