A tenancy registered to one person has ended, however 1 tenant (who was never named on the lease) has stayed on, and wishes to stay.
The landlord wished to do up the house which is 25 yrs old. The rent is well below market value, so tenant who has now got others living there is on a good deal.
I note that notice has to be served on the tenant and sent also to the RTB on the same day.
Is a genuine plan to do up the house sufficient to give notice?
Is it 220 days notice for someone living there 8 years, notwithstanding the fact they were never on the lease?
What's to stop a chain happening again with the new people that are now living there without the landlord's permission.
There is now no written lease agreement at all.
Email sent to the RTB to clarify position etc remains unanswered to date.
Landlord is a good guy and just wants the house back to do up and eventually charge a reasonable market rate/not gouge, they are also considering selling and buying a holiday home in the west instead....That's option b.
