Hi, I hope someone can give me advice on this.
I have a tenant in a shared house (there are two others sharing). Each tenant arrived separately. I don't have a lease with any of them. I have one tenant who has been in the house for just over two years. He is difficult and has been from day one, always needing things. Two examples are
1. he wanted a dog which I gave into against my better judgement as he promised to build a dog run in the back for it. He never did and I got into trouble with the neighbours. He refused to discuss the matter calmly and it caused me a lot of stress until he decided to get rid of the dog as he was going abroad for a few months. This went on for a couple of months and he was angry with me over it as if it was my fault.
2. he is separated and he asked me if his teenage daughter could use the box room for sleepovers. He was quite persistent. I used to rent this room but I wanted to keep the current tenants happy and I agreed.
One of the tenants who has been in the house for six years was recently made redundant and he moved out. I have been trying to rent the room. I got a call today from a prospective tenant and I texted the two occupants to say that I'd be calling in an hour to show the house. He rang me was was really abusive and angry on the phone that I hadn't given more notice. The thing is its not really possible to give a lot of notice as the market is very quiet where I am and if someone wants to view I usually accomodate.
I now want to get him out because he causes me so much stress but is it difficult considering he's been there over 2 years? He is also consistently late with rent though it is always paid.
Thank you for any advice.
