Council Tenant

Problem with a tenant. How should I deal with it. I have a tenant who receives benefits, the tenant moved in January and the rent was always received on time until now. The tenant is 6 weeks in arrears, I don't think she is living in the property as I received a couple of calls from utility companies asking me to confirm…

Maybe it's just me Lisa, but I doubt many people will plough through that solid block of text. Much too hard work and it makes my EYES HURT!

OP - you've got off lightly! The problem with tenants who flit is knowing when you can go in, clean up and re-let. If they just disappear, the tenancy actually still exists, even if rent is not being paid. So they still have a right to return (they might, after all, just be on holiday or even in hospital).

In this case, you have the keys back, the AST is clearly ended, so you can move on, albeit out of pocket.

Sorry G_M
It was posted from my iPad so it's a little less easy than on a laptop!!
Hope others get the gist of the story!
