In recent years, especially after months of war, there has been a significant increase in eviction proceedings against tenants in Israel, with about 3,123 eviction claims filed in 2025. Attorney Yehali Bar-Gil notes that recalcitrant tenants have become more experienced and aware of their rights, making it harder for property owners to evict them. Many of these tenants violate the rental agreement or fail to pay, and sometimes even attempt to extort property owners with various demands. The legal eviction process is considered unique, but it does not allow the property owner to forcibly remove the tenant. The eviction process can take between three months to six months, but in complex cases, it may take years. New companies are offering insurance solutions for landlords, allowing them to protect themselves against rental payment defaults. After the court ruling, if the tenant refuses to vacate, the property owner must wait for the enforcement process, which can add another month or more to the timeline. The damages caused by non-payment can be significant, both for private families and for companies.
