Issues with tenant (two brothers)
i've got two brothers renting my house out right now since April 2014, both have signed the lease.....i've always delt with the younger brother who seems like a stand up guy
one has turned out to be a bit of a gong show...there's been some issues in the past (bounced checks etc) cops called once (on the older brother, domestic issue with baby mama)
i just got told the cops where at my house yesterday (fyi i've been travelling and am currently living in Australia) and to deal with the older brother....i'm not going into detail
he apparently will no longer be living at the house and the younger brother won't be able to cover the rent....he thinks he's just going to be able to walk away but obviously that's not the case
he's informed my dad, who's taking care of things for me, that the payment for november will go through
i know he's liable for the remaining months (Dec-March).....my dad likes this guy (so do i he keeps the house spotless) and has recommended i reduce the rent to a point he can pay but i obviously still need my mortgage covered....i've told my dad to tell him to try to find another roommate so we'll see how that goes
i've got enough lawyers in my family to tie this guy up in court and get any owned money from him but i don't want to ruin this kids life over something unfortunate like his brother
any thoughts or recommendations....obvisouly this would be alot easier if i was home but i'm trying to deal with this the easiest way possible from the other side of the world
thanks
