I’m sure a similar question has been posed in the past but I’m struggling with this. I feel I know the answer is simple but having a heart sucks in business sometimes..
I’ve been renting to a gentleman who is a single dad. His son ended up leaving going away to college. He’s been struggling paying rent on time. I’ve kept everything business like and filed for eviction 7 times in the past two years for non payment of rent. He’s always come up with the money and paid all the fees. His lease expires in February and I sent him the non renewal of his lease letter and that he must be out.
This is a multi family house that I reside in the other side so it allows me the right to not renew a tenant.
After receiving the letter and realizing I wasn’t renewing his lease he told me he didn’t have the money to put down for a new place or have the money to move. He’s such a nice guy and I’ve been sooooo understanding throughout the last two years.
What would you do?
I ultimately want to renovate that unit and get a better return and know evicting him is the best option to ultimately go. How would you go about doing it?
