Hi guys,
As some of you know i leave this country after living here for 12 years. I fly out on 4th July, Hooray!! and go to friends holiday house in Scotland ,she has given me free of charge, until my house in Abergavenny becomes vacant on the 9th August. I have given my tenants 2 months notice via the agents and they have done a bunk, and moved out on the 15th June without paying June, or Julys rent. They also did not pay Decembers rent because they paid someone to do the garden and felt it was there right to take it out of the rent!!!!!
They pay a bond but have left the house in such a mess that the bond money will have to pay at least half, for the cleaning of the house.
AND to top it ll they have moved to in the same street a few doors down!! I feel so upset, angry ,hurt and really don't know what to do.
In theory they owe 3 months rent 1,650 pounds!!! which i really need. If i take them to court then i will have all the hassle of seeing them every day and the stress that will bring, not sure i can deal with that and coming back and learning everything from new and doing the house up completely. Apparently i have bottle green walls in one room and red in another !!!!!!! I am very cross with the agents but that wont help as i need them to be on my side. they are trying to get the tenant to see reason and at least pay something.
What shall I do i do?????? If I weigh up the emotional cost against the financial cost i feel i should let it go. BUT it is an awful lot of money to let go and i will still have to see these people every day whatever.
Please advise and i am in such a quandary over it ll and haven't slept for the last few nights worrying about it all, especially s i am so fr away and have so much t do here packing up etc. The SW plan is up the creek too!!!
The only good thing that has come out of it is that i can probably move into my house earlier which i would prefer.
Can my lovely cyber Friend's please give me some advice??? haven't a clue what to do and i feel rally awful and have so much to do before i leave here.
In this country we have to paint the complete inside of the house white before we hand it over and am in the process of doing that. Good system though, perhaps UK should adopt this too !!!
