Hi,
I have a house rented out to students, most return year to year, lease runs from Sept to June. Some of the students stayed on over the Summer at a reduced rate but all signed new leases in Sept.
One of the students who had moved out during the Summer returned in Sept. His father comes and visits the house, a few occasions when his son was back home. Last week he stayed 3 days and 2 nights at the house while his son was not there. The other students in the house are not happy and informed their friend that this is not satisfactory which he disregarded.
Yesterday, the father was at the house when I made a planned visit.
I explained that the house was just for students and it was inappropriate that parents should stay. I later found out that he had copied keys to the house and he lets himself in and out whenever it suits.
I sent a text to his son explaining also to him that it was inappropriate that his father spent so much time there and the keys are for residents only. I found out to-day, the father stayed in his son's room and his son slept out on the sofa last night.
I'm wondering what to do now, the other students find the father very irritating and uncomfortable and they have been very tolerant up to now. I wonder should I issue him with a breach of contract statement as it is specified in my contract that copies of keys should not be made without my agreement. Any advice greatly appreciated.
