What happens if my tenant stops paying rent and I am overseas?

Your Israeli attorney can file an eviction claim with the Magistrates Court on your behalf using a power of attorney. The filing fee is approximately NIS 1,010. Hearings are typically scheduled within 45 to 90 days. Once judgment is obtained, the Execution Office can attach bank accounts, issue a stay-of-exit order, and arrange physical eviction. Straightforward cases take 4 to 7 months from filing to eviction.
