You should hold the whole deposit.
esb told me that once i had a forwarding address in poland for the tenants, and i switched the account over to my name with the current reading i would not be charged any extra
does this mean the esb will start sending bills to poland looking for the outstanding money?
I was told that once the account was in there name (which it is) it will not fall back at our address. Was also assured this would have no knock on effects to future tenants.
There is no such thing as a 1 year lease in law anymore as the PRTB legislation irrivoked the ability to have a lease for a specific period of time.
There is by law an initial 6 months period followed by an automatic right to a total 4 year lease on certain grounds and conditions.
Notice to leave is defined by length of stay and once correct notice is givin nothing you can do.
furthermore I would tell them you will forward the remainder of the deposit to them in Poland if you manage to let the property from the 10th December, less the costs of advertising and maybe something for the inconvenience (extra work involved for you, cleaning, vetting clients etc).
Stifster,
You can terminate as a landlord for a variety of reasons. The following is from the PRTB website:
Once a tenancy has lasted 6 months, the landlord will be able to terminate that tenancy during the following 31/2 years only if any of the following apply;
3
4- the tenant does not comply with the obligations of thedwelling.
tenancy
- the dwelling is no longer suited to the occupants
accommodation needs (e.g. overcrowded)
- the landlord intends to sell the dwelling in the next 3 months
- the landlord requires the dwelling for own or family member occupation
- the landlord intends to refurbish the dwelling
- the landlord intends to change the business use of the
The correct notice must also be given obviously.
This makes no sense. Why would you deduct the cost of advertising, cleaning and vetting clients? You'd have to do the same thing in two months anyway! That's just unjustifiable greed.
totally agree, also while the OP states the tenants gave 5 days notice that is not correct, they actually gave 15 (december 10th next rent day) which still doesn't excuse them not giving the full notice, but it's not quite as bad as made out. i wonder if it's to do with the time of year rather than anything else that's annoying the OP.I agree - it's this kind of attitude that gives landlords a bad name.
Yes, they broke the terms of the lease - but as mentioned it is quite possible the OP would be have been in the same position two months later anyway. If they were good tenants and the OP is not stung with any bills/repairs etc etc, I don't really think it's a big deal.
Of course it's a business not a charity but in other businesses there are bad debts/slow payers/difficult customers etc
...it happens.
