Decorating while tenants are in the property
Comments
-
I think the OP should simply stop replying to any comment; including this one. It is clear from the original post that there was no intention on his part to create issues for the tenants. The tenants it seems also had 1st refusal on purchasing the property. It can be concluded that they are aware that the OP is / has to sell the property. Clearly for the tenants this is not ideal, however within the rental market, is not an uncommon situation to arise.
The OP's best course of action will be to:
1- Speak to the tenants as it appears the OP has a good relationship with them
2- Decide who the property is marked to, landlords or home buyers. Landlords may be a tricky one, depending on how much below local market rates you have charged the tenants
3 - Speak to tenants regularly with updates on the situation of selling. Good communication coupled with a good time frame for any changes is a positive way forward to allow them to make plans for a changes that will affect them
4- Depending on how things go with the agreement, just follow the rules / be reasonable and things will likely be fine.
5 - Most importantly, think twice about posting here again.....the advice is at times not given out in the most helpful tone. It is not that people intentionally want to rub anyone up the wrong way, it just kind of happens. Everyone word typed is open to be jumped faster than a cheetah on its next lunch
Finally good luck and I hope the LL experience ends positively for you and the current tenants.
It isn't clear from the original post that they don't want to create problems for their tenants. It IS clear from the original post and subsequent posts that they don't really understand what being a landlord means or understand about the law on tenancies.
I would suggest that they read the links on GM's post. They should have got legal advice/done some research about letting before they let the house in the first place.0 -
You really don't get it.
You offering them a monthly tenancy is not anything they would not have received anyway, by law.
You have not read my replies! You have simply picked which part you want to read. Yes, by law it will go rolling tenancy and as I said previously what I meant by that was I would not run to the court. How many more times can I say this?0 -

it is fine as far as it goes, talking to them is only part of the situation.
having a good relationship and being open gets you part way to where you need to be.
The S21 was not really needed as the tenancy would have gone periodic anyway and you could have issued your 2 months notice when ready(tenant having 1) in the appropriate manor with correct timing for a S21.
You have complied with the other requirements to make a S21 valid like protected deposit...
You should realize by now that a S21 is just a request to take possession of the property and the tenant can stay if they want.
You have this threads issue, the property could(depending on target market) need some work and dressing for sale, as has been discussed the tenant has total control over this so if you think this is essential to a sale you may want to review incentives that will get tenant support for this or asking them to leave sooner than you planned(when an offer is on the table).0 -
I have, I'm saying that running to court would still take a long time.You have not read my replies! You have simply picked which part you want to read.
