This renter is playing with me

I have property in my home town where we have rented 4-5 rooms to some known peoples around us and they are very good. They all are staying in the same house from last 4-5 years and till now there is no complain from either side. So it all depends on the person who is staying in the house. Perhaps that women is not getting another rental home and buying some more time. Thank You for sharing.

The only time that I've lived in a property that did not belong to my family was when I was in college and I lived in one of the school's dorms. I had very specific dates that I was allowed to live there so when we moved was not an issue at all. We now live in our own home and I don't think that we would consider renting out a portion of our house. However, if we ever did have the money, we would buy an additional house that we would be able to rent out.

yup lived in alot of reantals but always made sure didnt sign a lease for the work hubby did we didnt know exactly howlong we would be there now we are buying

I have lived in rented huses andhave also fixed up tenants for my paternal property. Somehow, I feel that as tenant and houseowner, I tend to show more lenience than called for.I have learnt a few lessons.

I was once the caretaker of a house that my grandmother owned. She lived in California and the house was here in Tennessee. I had to choose her renters and make sure the place was ready for them. You should have seen the rental agreement my grandmother made up. It covered everything..even things I could not imagine. People here still have the right to request thirty additional days..non rent days if they are asked to move. It can be a hard process to deal with. I was lucky enough to choose people that did not wreck the house or miss payments. I have also rented homes before buying mine. It can be a double edged sword. I had this one little owner that loved to just show up on Saturday morning very early to visit..lol.

I have lived in only 4 places in my lfe. I grew up on a farm until I was 24. Then I moved in with a boyfriend. That lasted 6 months. Then I moved into my first apartment and was on my own for the first time. I lived there 14 and a half years. Then I had to move because the business I live above went out of business and the the buidling was sold. Since 6/1/01 I have lived in my current apartment. When I lived at home,I didn't have to pay for anything. When I lived with the boyfriend, he took care of everything and I didn't care. I was to dependent on him. That was one reason I and him didn't work out. Then I have been dependent on myself and I pay rent every month. I never wanted to own a home and never will. At least when you rent I don't have to worry about fixing or installing anything! The landlord does that!

Hello Professor, the problem you stated is quite common in our house, we are having three houses all of which we gave it for rent and whenever we ask them to vacate, they gave all such stupid reasons, we got bored of it, if we raise the rent even then they don't care or some people even don't bother to pay the new rent or to vacate...some tenants irritate us like anything, but people should understand that right.

I have never experienced renting houses before. I can well understand your present dilemma with regard to your tenant that refused to vacate your house. I have few units of houses that I rented out and have faced the same problem before. I have even been sued for evicting my tenant and one tenant even called the police to intervene. The tenancy agreement comes to the rescue when the tenant do not honor the notice of eviction.

hi professor here in the US in California you have to be a professional or someone independently wealthy to own your own home. so most of us are working people who have to rent houses and apartments and even then the rent is really outrageous. I have owned a house many years back and had to sell it since then we could only afford to rent apartments. I know both sides of this situation. I have no idea of the costs of renting in India but the lady may have had problems finding a place she could afford to rent. but of course she has known for a long time she had to move if you needed the room so legally she must move out. When we did own our own home we had no extra room to rent out and it sure would have helped us financially too. Here in California the situation is bad in that the cost of rent goes up a lot faster than people get raises in their paychecks. a lot of working and middleclass people have moved to other states where its not so expensive to live. hope the lady moves out when she stated she would. I love the fact that family really means so much in your country . I do not mean family does not mean anything here but we are not quite as wonderfully welcoming to family members living in our homes as you are . I like that so much as its the way all families should be in all countries.

Hi. Professor2010. If she does not move out, you can do an eviction on her. You can make her move out. I have lived in many rental properties before. And, I am still living in one right now. I have rented many of times. I hope that this woman gets out of your home. I know that I could not last but so long staying in a rental property and not moving out right away. I would have been kicked out already by now.

Well, I've never lived in a rented house nor do we have a rented house but we do have an apartment. Our tenants have been living there for almost 20 years now and we treat them as family. Way back in 1999, we have fire in our place and our house and apartment were burned too but they never leave our side. When we are back on our feet again, they are the very first one who lived in the newly built apartment. No, we are asking them to move out because there will be renovation but they don't want to move out. I pity them because I know they have no place to go. This might be the same case for your renter. Give her time to look for a place or find her a a new place to rent. It is really hard moving out every now and then especially when you have a kid so give her some time....maybe she is just looking for a place that will fit in her budget.

hi professor, i go through legal procedure. if agreement is not met the first time, i give an extension. if extension is not met, i go to the local government office and complain there and then she/he signs an agreement up to a certain date or a deadline (a second extension). then if still not met, the local government office helps me out evicting the tenant. i know a little about these things because it is part of my work. business is about renting of real properties hence i get to encounter some tenants as this. hope you get your space back in time before your brother comes home. ann

For me if you are not in love to her if you want to its a friend only don't wrong to it.

hi professor, I do not live in a rented house although I would suggest to would be land lords that before renting out your property, put every thing in black and white, everything most especially terms and conditions should be written down, signed by both parties in the presence of a lawyer or notarized and preferably renewed every six months to one year. In my country, it is also common practice to ask for one month deposit and two month advance from the renter, this would be consumed if and when the landlord decides not to rent the property anymore so the renter has 3 months to look for a new place, think this will prevent the situation you are in right now because the contract would be enough to report her to the authorities for proper action.

Oh Professor, I am sorry about your situation. Hopefully she will move out by 31st March. We have lived in a rented house for more than 5 years, and before that in a rented apartment for a year. I would like to think that we are good to our landlord. The one we are living now, I think we are suited to each other. We don't bother them, and they don't bother us. We pay our rent on time and when we are going to be late, we inform them.

I never lived in a rented house. My family owns an apartment though. My father had problems with tenants before but the difference is they were not paying on time or were not paying at all. What he did was to notify the tenants 3 months in advance that he will have some work done on the building so they had to vacate it. He told them that they are welcome to come back but there will be new rules. So after a few months of renovating and such he opened the building again for tenants, most of the tenants came back. To prevent tenants from no longer paying, he made a contact for them to sign stating that if the tenants will not pay their rents 20 days after it is due, they will be in court. He had all the contracts photocopied and he placed it in every room together with the rules and policies. So far I don't think that he is having trouble collecting rents.

You have every right to demand that she vacate the house because it was what was agreed of. The contract perfected is a proof to that. if and when on March 31,she will not vacate the house still , then you can already sue her for breach of contract. I guess, when you do that , she will vacate the house like a wind.
