6 months ago we had 4 rental applications and took the advice of our property management to go with an older couple who already leased a unit around the corner, they came highly recommended.
It became obvious very quickly that they have a major hoarding problem and the property turned to a tip very fast.
Not long after they gave notification that one of the tenants had injured himself and would find moving difficult, to avoid any drams I agreed to extend the lease a further two weeks to keep them happy and hopefully make the vacation easy, the last thing I want is them to be leaving in a hurry.
We are now less than a week from the end of contract date, and the neighbours have informed me that there is absolutely no sign of any packing up, which I must stress will be a major job.
Management have voiced their concerns and are keeping me updated, apparently driving past every day.
I just wanted to ask for any advice from other investors who may have been through a similar situation, any precautions I can now make to ensure a smooth vacate?
I wouldn't be surprised if this lead to our first tribunal, I will not be using the property managers again, prior to these tenants was another highly recommended tenant from hell who stayed 6 months also.
