My mother inherited her parents house and has just leased it out in the past 2 weeks. Its an old house so it needed considerable work before it was habitable. The interior of the house is completely done but theres still some work to be done on the garden. The couple who took up the lease were aware of this when they moved in- they were assured it would be done and its due to be fixed up next week.
However, the tenants are kicking up a fuss because it hasn't been done yet. Like most people I imagine, my parents have certain tradespeople they trust to do a good job. The fella they've asked to do the garden is busy at the minute so they(and the tenants) were told it would be a couple of weeks before he could do it. Apparently thats not good enough. So far in the past5 days my parents have had 3 phonecalls and tonight, a visit from one of the tenants threatening legal action because the other tripped in the garden yesterday.
My parents are both in their sixties and tonights events have them both upset. They are literally at their wits end. Is there anything they can do? The lease is for 12 months. I'm pretty sure they can't ask them to move out but maybe someone can put me right. Thanks
