Hi everyone,
To respect my tenants privacy, I will keep the information given to only describe the situation.
The male tenant has been arrested on domestic violence last week, This came as a complete shock to me as they were a very nice couple, I've visited them on many occasions.
His girlfriend (ex maybe) has moved out and I was going to find out if he gets bail yesterday (05/09/12) from his mum, which I keep in contact with since his arrest and she has looked after the house. What makes the situation worse is the tenant doesn't know his mum is looking after the place and they are not getting along.
I've called his mum on several occasions since by phone and text message and no answer...
The tenant is now 1 week behind his rent, I hold 4 weeks bond money. Should I give a notice of eviction? on the grounds that the house is vacant and there is still stuff there.
Note: this is a self managed property, thank you for your help in advance.
