Might have a problem.

[David Albertson]

One of my tenants called me today. Back when we signed the 1 year lease I told him that after 6 months if they wanted to move I would be willing to cancel the lease as long as I could find another tenant. I don't want to keep someone in my house if they don't want to be there. Well, today was 6 months, to the day. He calls me up with this big attitude about how he did me a favor by agreeing to move if we sold the place (we've had it on the market for 3 weeks now). We haven't had anybody come to look at the property so now he's pissed and wants to move out by June 1st. I'm really not that worried about him being pissed at me but what has me worried is that they always pay on the first of the month but didn't today. I have a feeling that their plan is to not pay so I will kick them out. I don't think they understand the consequences. When and IF I have to post a "Pay or Quit Notice", is there something I can include that explains what will happen if they don't pay? Don't get me wrong, I'm prepared to go to battle over this but I really would like to avoid it if possible.

PS- I'm currently searching for a new tenant as my other thread states.
