Notice to Vacate 60-Day
Hi all! First time posting here.
Dad died a couple years ago and I inherited a house. The tenant has been there since 2014.
I let the tenant know about the death in 2022 and that I'd be taking over. In early 2023 I told them I would be selling in the future. The tenant was scared and started crying. I assured them it wouldn't be anytime soon but in a year or so.
They didn't hear from me for a year. In April 2024 I sent them a rent increase of $300. They assumed I wasn't selling because 1) they didn't hear from me and 2) I increased the rent.
I called them in June 2024 and told them I wanted to sell and asked how long they needed. They were shocked and said if I wanted them to move out in 60 days they would need relo assistance. I said no and asked them how long they would need and they said six months to figure things out and then move.
At this point, they are planning to move in March 2025.
I want to fix/rehab this property and sell it ASAP. I'm tired of dealing with the tenant and just want to move on. I offered them 5K relo, last month's rent free, and deposit if they move out by Dec 1st. They wanted the 5K in November and I said no. They get the 5K relo and deposit back upon vacating Dec 1st.
Again, I'm tired of dealing with this tenant. I'm at the point of just getting my eviction attorney involved and having him handle it at this point.
Any opinions/advice welcomed.
Thanks everyone!
