When to Use Money Claim Pack

Use Money Claim If:

  • • Tenant owes rent arrears (current or former tenant)
  • • Tenant caused property damage needing repair
  • • You paid for professional cleaning or rubbish removal
  • • Tenant left unpaid utilities in your name
  • • Claim is under £10,000
  • • You know where tenant lives/works

Consider Carefully If:

  • • Tenant has no known income or assets
  • • Tenant has left the country
  • • You don't have current contact details
  • • Arrears are very small (court fees may exceed recovery)

Need to evict first?

If your tenant is still in the property, start with our Notice Only Pack or Complete Eviction Pack. You can pursue money claims separately after possession.

Court Fees (Paid Separately to Court)

Claim AmountCourt Fee (Online)Court Fee (Paper)
Up to £300£25£35
£300.01 - £500£35£50
£500.01 - £1,000£60£70

£5,000.01 - £10,000£410£455

• Court fees are paid to the court when filing, NOT to Landlord Heaven

• If you win, court fees can be added to your claim (tenant pays)

• Money Claim Online (MCOL) is cheaper - use it where possible

Need to evict the tenant too?

A money claim recovers what you're owed — but if you also need the tenant OUT of the property, you'll need an eviction notice. You can pursue both simultaneously: eviction for possession and money claim for the debt.
