Correct. Unless the information I received is incorrect. And in this particular case the tenant decided enough was enough and left.
There are some of these 'professionals' that won't get out of bed for a lot of money.
Actually talking of which, you've just reminded me, I met a guy collecting money for a moneylender, very recently. Had a good chat with him, nice fellow. It was in the course of him doing another job and approaching me. As you do I chatted away and then discussed this side of his life. As I had a very low opinion of moneylenders I was surprised at this side to his life. It's not something he does all the time, but was requested recently to do. The moneylender paid him 250 Euro for three days work (cash naturally) but he wanted 350 Euro, so he's refusing to continue. I asked him does he do the heavy stuff, and he said there was non of that anymore. I asked what kind of people and why. I had assumed only poorer people, not so apparently. For the usual stuff, communions, weddings etc. But also middle class people and males and females too. Interest rate about 200% he said, and I said are you not sorry for them people. Not a bit of it he said. In his opinion people just will not save to spend so he thought they deserved everthing coming at them. Plenty of these people have literally just come back from Spain etc on their holidays. So borrowing at insane interest rates to go on holiday. Hard to have sympathy for that. His view is that most people are chancers.
Incidently he's a landlord too, in massive NE. Willing to acknowled he made a big mistake (around the 270K mark) But I knew from the way he talked about his tenants that he's a decent soul.
