What are your ways of dealing with demanding tenants.....The ones who when there is a problem tell you "I KNOW my rights"
eg.. when the lease was up I asked did they want another...NO I KNOW my rights..I dont have to...which was fine, iI didnt mind
More recently after quite a few minor demands..I put the rent up, and to be honest it was quite a lot but still under market value...The day I did I had a phone call from the agent stating the tenants had rung stating the need for pest control, the tiles in the laundry had lifted and a downlight had blown in the kitchen
I went around to stick the tiles down and was asked about the light when I was there.....I said I wasnt prepared to pay an electrician for one light, the NEXT day I had a written form from consumer affairs ( the tenants had filed out) saying I had 14 days to fix it.
The agent is reluctant to do anything about getting rid of them and I am so annoyed I have to give into their demands....if they couldnt see because of the light it would be differnet but there are 3 working ones in the room....
Any suggestions ( or sympathy) would be great
