If they have keys and stuff in the rooms, they're renting them. Stick up some ads and work on getting some tenants (assuming thats what you want). As regards deposits - I would only be returning whats left over after bills are covered (i assume there were shared bills?? ie. esb/phone/heating/tv license, etc.). If you had a clear agreement with one or both of them to give a months notice, then stick to that. Get the locks changed. You might not want to do this but for peace of mind, it would be best. You can always swap them back again whenever the next wave of tenants move out.Hi again. Our other tenant has moved out too, but both have left quite a few belongings all over the bedroom and bathroom. They still have one key, which they refuse to give back til they've cleared their stuff. We can't show the place to anyone else and need to get someone in soon. Would it be unreasonable to expect rent until they've moved their stuff out?
Must have misread your initial posts - didn't realise you had given them notice. But you have an interest in getting new tenants in to replace them. Therefore, there must have been some issues??When we first asked them to move out they were a little upset, and said they absolutely loved living here and didn't want to leave.
I still maintain that if they're keeping stuff in your rooms, then they're still renting. If they've moved out, then keys have been returned, bills sorted out, anything above and beyond 'wear n' tear' accounted for and deposit refunded.I don't think they'd keep the key or anything, it is just to move their stuff out.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience but having rented for years and now renting out myself, its a two way street. Two of my three tenants are sound - absolutely no problems. The other ones another story. Two golden rules in renting - pay your rent on time and leave the place as you got it - concepts he doesnt care for. I don't understand why people stay where they're not happy!nelly said:i used to rent with others under this scheme the 2 of us left and never wanted to see or hear from the landlord again who treated us like unwanted (paying) guests in his home - he was a nice guy but completely treated us badly
Very good advice. Never do business with anyone you don't want to fall out with.moral of the story never mix friends and money its always a bad situation
