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!
