When we bought our tourist cottages ... we inherited a permanent tenant who ask if they could stay on for 3 more month while their house was being built.
We agreed and had our real estate sign them up on a 3 month lease with strict conditions - no parties - no noise after 10pm - no contact or interaction with "guests" - if there are any issues they must contact the cottage manager or real estate only.
Problem is that the bloke (wife is lovely) is a real dick who constantly whinges to the groundsman or cottage manager about things that are none of his business - like he didn't like our design of the deck stairs on another cottages - acts like it is his right to oversee and keep everything in order - and twice now he has upset other guests.
Last night was the last straw ... we have a rather famous group (and their families) book out the entire property, wanting complete privacy ... and twice he has gone over to their accommodation - the second time to ask them to turn down their music at a very early 6pm.
These guests were understandably really upset at having their privacy interfered with - my cottage manager is rope-able and will try to smooth things over today - my real estate was furious and rang the tenant last night to give him a blast ... I'm just hoping the reputation "damage" is not serious.
The tenant is off lease in 6 weeks - and has already been issued "notice to vacate" - my situation is that it's not the first time he's done this and been sternly reminded to back off and I'm worried that he just doesn't seem to learn - and I've had a gut full of his "passive" aggressive interfering. Waiting to see how the cottage manager goes today.
Do I issue him with a breech on Monday with 5 days to vacate and the subsequent fallout ... or do I just wait out the six weeks with no stress?
