Hi,
I have long term tenants living in my rental property. They are a couple with two young kids. I have had very little contact with them as they always pay the rent on time. They have very low rent as it is in a RPZ and I was slow to increase rent before RPZ came in.
The husband recently contacted me to say that his wife and kids are moving home to Eastern Europe for a few months and would it be okay if he kept the property and rented out the second room. Initially I thought this was okay but the more I think about it, the more I think they might be separating and he wants to sub-let the spare room. This could impact in the way the property is kept/maintained. It also sounds like it could be for an extended period because he mentioned 6 months.
I initially thought it would be okay but I am now having second thoughts.
Is this grounds for termination?
