It maybe worth her considering taking out a rent insurance policy with legal cover. That way if the tenant doesn't pay the insurance company cover her rent and deal with the legals, obviously they are highly motivated to get the legal process sorted because they are paying the rent until the property is vacant. Also, they are experts in this area of law.

Never used the insurance but it's there if you need it.

I use this

Some letting agents include this in their fee ... my old one did but I never saw the policy so have no idea of the quality of cover.

As above may include rent and legal cover ... check you agreements ...
