quebec tenants and owner-occupation
Hi all, i just purchased a duplex in Sherbrooke Quebec. there are currently two tenants in the building, one on each floor. before signing, i received written agreement from one of the tenants that they would leave once their lease expires. my plan is to move into where they are currently staying and keep the other tenant, or if the second tenant also leaves, find another tenant. but i definitely want the tenant who agreed to leave out, because they are dirty and late on their rent.
i'm just wondering, is the written notice that they gave enough to force them out if they decide later that they change their mind and wish to remain? do i have to provide them with some type of notice as well? does the fact that i'm moving in change anything? i know if its owner-occupied, i can legally evict them but it has to be done 6 months in advance and we're already past that point. i'm hoping their written notice will be enough.
thanks,
Russell
