My husband and I rented a room to a "friend" which has turned bad. The person is obnoxious and rude, has no respect for our family. SO in turn I increased his rent and added other stipulations to make him want to terminate his lease which worked partially...
He is now throwing a fit about having his 30 days; the lease termination gives him 30 days... His lease was for 3 months. The lease says it will automatically renew unless he is notified otherwise.. Well I gave him a copy of the new lease and he doesn't want to sign it so that terminates his lease. The original lease is up on Decemeber 31 2008. WHich was why i gave him the new lease and told him it would go into effect on dec 26 concerning the rent increase.
We physically handed him a copy of his lease termination, he refused to sign it. He said he was taking it to his "lawyer" and would be back to the house tomorrow. The original lease we have with him states; "Sub-Leasors will serve all notices on the TENANT in writing and by mailing to the property address. TENANT will serve all notices on SUB-LEASEES in writing and by mailing to: (address removed)"
How do i make sure that he "receives" a copy of the termination notice? He refused to sign the one I gave him and he can refuse to sign for the notice sent to him by mail.
The lease also states that the changes i gave will go into effect 30 days after notice is given if tenant does not give me in writing that he wants to terminate his lease..
If it would help to read the lease i have a copy saved.. i will just remove personal information (our address) etc..
Any and all help is appreciated.. This guy scares me.. he has retaliated against his former room-mates (my husband was the bleeding heart this time)
And how long do i actually have to give him to leave my house 30 days 60 days 90 days or 15 days????
Thanks!!!
