Hi, first-time poster but I figured this was the best place to get an answer...
For the past 18 months I've been living abroad but now I'm in the lucky position to be moving back home.
When I left, I gave my house to an agent to find tenants. They did so and everything has been fine.
New tenants moved in 2 months ago and I've had no problems with them but now I need my house back. If I'm coming home in February, what rights do I have to ask them to vacate the property?
I haven't seen the lease, but as far as I know they signed a 12 month lease drawn up by the agent.
I want to do this right and don't want to screw anybody around. I'm prepared to give them 2 months notice and allow them to live rent-free for the notice period. (My company is covering moving expenses so I'm not worried about money)
Do I have a leg to stand on?
