Hi, I am hoping for some advise on this issue,
A tenant moved in July 14, I increased the rent marginally one year later, Looking back I should have increased it to market value but I didn't as felt sorry for her, Looking back house was mess also but she pleaded with me and I let her remain in it. How foolish of me...
Now house is absolutely filthy - I understand that it is up to me to replace carpets and paint the walls, but do I have to have whole house deep cleaned, replace every single blind and curtain, get mantelpiece fixed, fix doors & completely redo the garden outside as it has been trashed,
Neighbours are also telling me that she has a lodger, I asked her and she did say that a sibling of hers does live there from time to time.
I am quite stressed over this and to top it all of she is also now paying 500 below market rent,
I just want to take back my house, redo it up, bring it back to its former glory and re-let it again,
I wouldn't be so annoyed if she was keeping it well but it upsets me to see the state of it,
I am on the verge of serving her an eviction notice as I want to do renovations to the house, Upgrade heating system, insulate attic, put down all new floors throughout, paint whole house, Put up new blinds, fix up garden, maybe put in new kitchen, Will this suffice as renovations ?
The eviction notice says that I have to offer the house back to her !!! Seems like there is nothing to protect the landlord here, Is there anyway around not having to offer the house back to her seeing as she has wrecked it, I am literally going to have to spend thousands on doing it up,
Also she wants to me sign a rent allowance form which I won't do due to the state of the house, She has also said that if I sign the rent allowance form, she will let me increase the rent by €125, I advised her this was illegal as I am only allowed to increase the rent by 4% and I am not in a position to do any increase until the 2 yrs are up which is July 17 and I have to give 90 days notice also so the new rent increase won't come into effect until Oct 17,
Is that right?
The last lease that was signed was in July 15, is there anyway I can terminate the tenancy in July 17 with the 90 days notice or does she have right to a part 4 tenancy ?
Sorry for all the questions but if someone can advise me I would appreciate any help/opinions,
tks
