Experience leasing a house

[Noregrets]

Unfortunately tenants have the upper head. Its hard to terminate the tenancy nowadays compared to 15 years old. It took me nearly 20 months with one. So now I only do 1 year only contact and renewal every year with a new argument. I give a free weeks rent when renewed so to break there rent agreement so I can keep the upper hand now

Thats bullshit. The tennants rights are based on the day they moved in on. Regardless of been a series of one year leases or a longer lease. Free weeks rents does not dilute their righta and even if they were to "move out" for a week every year no court would accept that as been a new tenancy.

You need to give them notice. If you are doing major renovations that is a legitimate reason to terminate the lease, but the notice period is roughly one month per year they have been in the house.

Do not mention late payments as the reason for tetmination as by bringing the rent up to date they then can not be evicted.

My understanding is i need to provide notice of works 180 day before. No problem with that.

What i dont understand is the level of detail i need to provide them with. Do i need an engneer to sign off that the house actually needs work? Or will a builders quote be fine.

According to citizens advice, if a tenant is living in the house for six months they get to stay for at least six years.

They can only be evicted in very limited circumstances.

This is not about evicting them. The house is a 40 year old house that need renovation badly.

Its my responsibility to make sure the house is fit for purpose. The list of problems that need sorting is long and will take time and money. When finished they can move back in, no issue with them...

But i need to make sure i cross the T's and dot the I's. I could sit back and let the house fall further in to disrepair.

As mentioned before my question is what level of detail do i need to provide the tenent with in the notice of renovation.

Does an engineer need to sign off the the house needs the work?

you do not need to give any other details at all, they could take you to court / rtb if you were to re let the house without carrying out the renovations.

not quite true, but you can not evict them and re let the house to other tenants.

Once you rent out a house, you must offer the tenants a new lease unless you are selling the house, need it for an immediate family member, are carrying out major renovations.

You can evict for non payment but it is very difficult and if the tenants get the rent up to date before they are due to be evicted and then fall behind in rent again, you have to start the process all over again. You can also evict for anti social behaviour, but again it is hard to prove and takes a lot of time.

100% you.mentioned in your previous post not to give detail of renovation. I dont need to show an engineers stating the house needs work?

They need plenty of notice, I had sitting tenants when I bought my houses, one could do with alot of dolling up and with getting them out as they got the place wrecked, ur man redesigned the kitchen with his chainsaw, nice couple but they do things that I tell them is my job, talking 30k to fix it to good standard now with the price of materials at present so very expensive to take on renovations now
