Seems like no one is really answering your question.
Your best bet to trace your tenant (or indeed anyone) is to use a specialist tracing agent. These can be easily found on the internet or ask your solicitor as they will almost certainly have an agency they can recommend.
Most decent agencies will offer a no trace no fee service whereby you provide them with as much information as you can about the tenant, they then try to find them. You will only pay for the service if they find a significant amout of information about their whereabouts, employment, etc. Depending on the agency, this will cost between £30-£100. Don't pay more, it's a rip off.
Assuming you are able to get a current address for the tenant, you can apply to the small claims court. Again, it's advisable to consult with your solicitor on this. It will cost, but it's not usually extortionate and well worth it if the arrears are high. |

put the same advert again but this time say 'no need to pay' for first six months. It will work wonders. |

Generally the trick with rent arrears is to get rid of the tenant asap. You are darned lucky if you ever get your money back. The law refers to such people as "men of straw" & the law in practice recognises that "you can't get blood out of a stone". If she is doing some moonlighting you might get some satisfaction from reporting her but it won't get you your rent. I believe there are agencies who will recover for a percentage of the debt. Don't have details but perhaps a local landlord's association would be a first rate source of advice on this. |

I hate to break the ice to you dude, your best recourse is through a small claims court. Hire a detective or ask the letting agency that has black listed her so that you do not unwittingly breach the law. Usually, if it's one or two month's rent and not a lot of money, it is more costly to claim and chasing the person unlawfully can result in being sued or counter-sued.
There are some DIY landlords who have lost the case because there was no formal contract in the first place or that the formal contract was not in breach despite the tenant leaving before the end of the contract. Chasing the defaulter personally can be seen as taking the law into your own hands, which many novice landlords are not aware of. Those that do are in breach of the law are usually small time crooks, or in worse cases, the local one person mafia, that hopes to profit from students or any person not familiar with the law, which students usually are not fully aware of their rights and obligations.
The dosh you fork out for professional advice is well worth it in your first attempt to let out, assuming you intend rent out frequently in the future. It is good to get a first hand insight through professionals in your first contract. |

I found people who cared enough about what my tenant from hell had done to me to help me contact other relatives of hers so the police could investigate - found those people's numbers on her unpaid phone bill - which was legally mine cause I was such a softie/dope.
I had to pressure the govt agency to the point they hated me before I could get them to force out this client who trashed TWO of my properties and ultimately left large arrears in utilities and rent. And they did in such a way coinciding with eviction law that they stopped paying their share a month before she moved out!
And they foisted her on someone else!
By the way, her telling the police I'd given her the furniture was enough to end the matter, altho I called them when she took it and reported it as stolen, probably by her. I told her dad I hoped he'd be happy sitting at my sister's gift to me of a wooden dining room set while he ate thanksgiving turkey with them and he basically assured me he would. My kids and I wondered if we stole from a store, could we just say they gave it to us?
It took a while to work through the stress on that. We have other tenants with government paid rent and they are super. I had to develop criteria for what made a good renter in my mind. I did a far better job this time, I guess. Or I got lucky. Hopefully, my tenant feels that way, too.
zabasearch.com is an amazing search engine about residents of USA. If you have something similar, you'll worry about yourself but be happy to follow the tenant.
try searching her name and then a plus sign immediately next to any other terms about her or names of her associates that might show up in google. if she's into motorcycles, her name +motorcycles +town outside Glasgow. |

Send a letter to her old address and write on it "Address Correction Requested"
That works in the US.. |

They're not supposed to give you info like this, but try asking the postman. |

start with the benefits agency as previous answerer suggested, but if no joy, consider a private detective. A good detective will tell you upfront the approximate cost, so you can weigh it against how much she owes you. Since she's in the same area, and presumably signing on, it should not take much time and effort for him to find her, and to furnish you will all the info you need.
Good Luck |

we had that trouble a few yrs ago but found the only way of getting anything back was the small claims court and they ordered them to pay something silly like £1 week. unfortuately we never got our money back as after about a month they stopped paying |
