I understand what you're saying FJ, and I guess a lot of others do too, or there wouldn't be over 200 views and 4 responses I do feel it's disrespectful though - at the end of the day I figure, they're living in MY house, I deserve a bit of respect as the landlord. We've gone out of our way to not inconvenience them during the year they've been there, I would've liked a bit of trust back, trust that we wouldn't be constantly organising home opens around them.
Once the lease ends they'd go on a week to week lease, and only be required to give a weeks notice.
Thankfully though, I got the call this afternoon that they'll be re-signing tomorrow morning. A big stress off!
That is great that they are resigning, Keike!! You must be so relieved, and I'm so glad you have had a bit of good news this week.
Just wondering though if you had a clause in your original agreement about the conditions of a periodic tenancy? If not, then they would move onto a period tenancy which is usually on a monthly basis, not weekly, and would need to give you a minimum 21 days to notice they were leaving (without cause), you would need to give them 60 day notice to vacate (without cause).
I thought I answered but my silly phone must have decided it didn't like my answer. It's irrelevant now but my suggestion was that if there is a bit of competition for rentals in your area give them the boot and get better tenants.
