Tenants lease is up no longer want them as tenant
Hi all,
My tenants lease is up the 31st of May. I sent the letter asking if they were interested in another lease.
They have responded yes. My problem keeping this person is, I have been sent Facebook post of her asking for contractors to do work. A video showing a broken fixture left on the foyer floor for the downstairs tenant to clean up. How do I go about letting her no we are no longer interested in keeping her?

@Darla Goodband it sounds like you're not keeping an eye on the tenant. You should be inspecting the property at least once a year to ensure they're taking care of it and you want to keep them around. If able, I recommend inspecting 3-4 months after they move in and then 3-4 months prior to lease termination. If they aren't taking care of it, if they have a lot of lease violations, or if they are not timely with their payments then you should let them know you will not renew their lease.
Until you have a signed lease, you are under no obligation to renew. Just tell them your plans have changed and you will not renew. Keep it short and professional.
