Creative solution to avoid a bad situation?
The time is well past due to get an inherited tenant out. I think I may have finally found a solution to get him out and avoid damage to my unit. I’m thinking on offering him 3 choices. I’m sure there are plenty that will say just give him a 30 day, I just really feel given his demeanor there’s a good chance he’ll look to retaliate somehow, so I’d like to try and give him a choice to give him some dignity and feel he’s being treated like a human. In quick summation, he doesn’t keep up on the place, trash in the garage, pretty sure there’s a good chance of a rodent problem there, and he’s on a month to month
My 3 choices…
Raise the rent to market rent, which is $100 more than he’s paying, the place cleaned up, and if he’s late on payment he’ll receive a termination letter that month
A 30 day lease termination letter, detailing his exit of the property ( good condition, keys turned over, etc) in exchange for his security deposit in return
Or Cash for keys once he pays this month. Give him 10 days to vacate for $500, the amount he’s currently paying in rent, with terms of course saying the property be left in good condition
Thank you in advance for the help and feedback
