Hi all,
I am at my wits end trying to deal with this situation and as such I thought I would contact you about it to ask if anybody has any advice regarding the same.
I am currently in NZ but my wife is temporarily back home trying to resolve and issue regarding our tenant. His fixed term tenancy ended on the 13th November.
He was informed on numerous occasions verbally, my text and on the 27th October in writing that his tenancy would not be renewed.
He refused to pay rent and turned off his phone leaving us to chase him until my partner got back (last week). Since then he has paid the overdue rent plus rent up until the 30th.
He now however refuses to leave, he wants a further 28 days notice (despite the fact that he wont pay up front because he doesnt have the money). Does he have any rights in this? Wont pay but wants to stay!?
Id appreciate any help you can give.
Notes:
In the year he has been there he has been issues 2 eviction notices for not paying rent.
He has NEVER paid the rent on time.
Last month he tore up our shagpile carpet throughout the house and replaced with cheap blue carpet without permission.
He called a plumber and took the cost off his rent payment (without contacting us)
We have been using Smart Letting Company to help us but they have been as bad as our tenant to be honest.
