Tenant extending their already extended move out date?

[Jared Lasko]

I have a tenant in one of my units that recently bought a house in December. They closed the 21st I believe. The original agreement I had with him was that he would be out January 14th. He asked to extend to January 31st due to wanting to take his time in the move. I didn't have a problem at the time.

The issue is this. This is one of two units (the other is vacant and having work done) that has some pretty bad water damage caused by the water heater leaking for who knows how many years with the previous owner. A large chunk of subflooring and a couple floor joists need to be replaced before I can go in and redo the units. I had the contractor scheduled originally to start on the 16th (right after the first agreed move out date). I then rescheduled it to the 3rd due to him extending his move out date

He has now asked to extend again to February 9th.

What would you all do in this situation? I can understand extending once but I need to get this work done so I can go in and rehab the unit.

Thanks!

Just say no and tell them why. It's ok to accommodate a request sometimes but if it's going to cause you problems that's different.
