Hi,
I have an unfortunate situtation and am looking for any advice on the matter. I have a house rented out where the tenant had a 12 month lease which was up on the 10th May. I met with him in March and he told me that he was made redundant in his old job but had got a new one so no issue there. I told him that I intended to sell the property so the lease wasnt going to be renewed. He was fine with that but concerned that he would have to move while his kids were in school so being the understanding person I am I agreed that he could stay until end of June when schools finished.
This month the rent was due to be in the account by 10th and when there was no sign i sent him a mail on the Wednesday last week (having left time for a weekend bank transfer to go through). He informed me that his wife lodged the money to the wrong account and they had to get the bank to retrieve it and it would take a few days. He said he was going to look to get a house from the council and needed me to send him a notice to quit the property which i did, giving him till 9th July.
Still no sign of the money and when I check the mail this morning I find quite a long winded email explaining that he was made redundant and had gone to the welfare etc with regards to rent, etc. So he completely played me and the money was never going be there like he said. He has said the health board are going to pay the rent this Thursday. But in the meantime he is now looking for me to sign a rent allowance/suppliment form.
Two questions - Considering that he has got a notice to quit, do i have to sign this form for two months?
Can I get him out any early than the quit notice previously stated.
Thanks
