I agree with you 100% but he wasn't always like this. He's been renting from me for 3 years and the first two were fine but now his life is crumbling because he's in the middle of a divorce. His wife is a big bitch, never works and he has two kids. I feel bad for him but I gotta put myself first and he screwed me over.
So I spoke with the tenant and landlord office and they basically are saying what you guys are. I'm screwed! Even though I have all the move out notice dates on pen and paper + signature there ain't jack I can do if he doesn't want to move out even with the notice of him agreeing to move out on Mar 1st. I'd have to go through the court system to get that done and that takes months. Even if I sued him and won if he doesn't want to pay there's not much I can do because they don't really enforce it.
So as per the tenant and landlord office I should try to pay out either the future tenant to get them to nullify the agreement or give some money to the current tenant as an incentive to leave.
I was able to work out a deal to get the new lease agreement nullified. They agreed to 300 which I was happy to get it over and done with. As for the current tenant I'll let him keep staying. He's a sloppy fucker and sometimes pays his rent late but he still pays. This doesn't mean I'm not going to try to get him out the first chance I get.
Any of you guys renting out there should know that we landlords are your bitches and you guys can bend us over any time.
Thanks for all the help guys gotta bite the bullet this time.
