I have a tenant that I just cant get hold off. The tenant was 3 days late ith the rent and after phoning, texting and leaving a letter our tenant sent a text saying they would have the rent on Easter monday, I finally got half of the rent last friday and was told that the rest would be handed over on today at 5.30 I still don't have the money and can not get hold of the tenant with him ignoring my message text and calls. Over the last 2 weeks I have been visiting my flat at all times day and night and am convinced that he is living with his girlfriend but don't understand why he just doesn't give the flat up. When I did get the last half of the money I asked him to leave on the 5th may when the next rent is due as he has been late paying every month. Also he was highly recommended by our last tenant who was wonderful and let him have the first month free in return for fitting a new bathroom as this is his job - he has only fitted the bath not toilet and sink and has not paid council tax bill. Can we go in and change the locks so he has to contact us and with hold the deposit for the bathroom and bills ? Any help please I am, pulling my hair out and will sell asap never to rent again!!
