I need tenant to move out.
My tenant Lulu called me couple months ago to tell me she was moving out. Lulu has been there for one year so the lease term was no problem. I sent her a move out checklist. The end of the month came and Lulu showed no signs of being ready, she asked for another month. I said yes. During that time a prior tenant who is moving back into town wants to rent the house. Lulu told me that was moving on the 7th(tomorrow), but I just drove by and there is no way. Lulu always pays the rent (courtesy of the mother-in-law who is a delightful lady who I wish adopted all my tenants).
What can I do to make Lulu move? Can I refuse the rent? What to do?
My prospective tenant is as close to ideal so I do not want to loose him. He wants to move on the 25th, of course I have to clean, paint, would like to replace flooring, etc.
I appreciate any suggestions.
