Tenant wants to move

Albert Johnson
Posted

We have tenant that is stating they will start looking for another place to live. They say they feel unsafe because they think someone else is living there and the other tenant leaves late night about 3am climbs over the fence and gets into a car and comes back before sun cimes up. Also note this tenant has cameras outside their unit.

They keep stating this person has someone else living there because the kids are not with them when they leave.

They had disagreements in the past and think they don't like each other.

How do you go about this? Should we address the situation with the tenant possibly having other people living there?

Aso address the tenants concerns and have them confirm they are planning to leave and ask for notice according to lease?

Also the tenant wanting to move always pays their rent on time and the other tenant is always late

Are you doing inspections? You should inspect every rental at least once a year, even on the very best tenants. For problem renters (late rent, noise, lease violations, etc.) you should inspect more often, maybe every three months.

I would give the bad tenant a notice of inspection within 24 hours. Look for evidence of an additional roommate or anything else unusual. I would look for reasons to get rid of him.
