Cut loss. Ask him to leave nicely, even if you lose some rental is ok, just make sure he goes, then look for a new tenant.

Sorry to hear this.

Since you're pregnant, I suggest you leave it to your husband to talk to the tenant nicely but firmly.

For your next tenant, spend more time to screen them, sit them down and have a talk.....only rent to them if you feel comfortable.

(Some tenants will "act nice" on initial meeting, it is hard to judge if you do not interact with them enough)

Best,

Mark

Unless he pays the rent, be firm and tell him to pack up in 3 days and you will refund him his balance deposit. Even if he pays the rent, tell him to get lost by 13 Aug as there is no point retaining such tenant. Deposit is not meant for offsetting rent.

I wont talk to him anymore in case he become very angry and u are alone at home.

Do it in front of your hubby..

If u have a Tenancy Agreement signed that did mention payment of monthly rental is on the 13th.

And should your tenant fail to do it.

Just ask the police to be present and ask your tenant to leave.
