Cozymilly:
i'm listening, Whats up

arthurwillia:


Is it right to disconnect the light of a tenant who isn’t owing for light for two months?

Cozymilly:
if it's in the tenants agreement, then easy yes. But if it isn't still yes. If the tenant wants light badly he/she should pay up.

arthurwillia:

Ok so to the main issue
I have this tenant, his rent was due in oct ending and I asked him to renew, he didn’t pleading and I gave him a time frame and he didn’t meet up, so is he entitled to 6 months quit notice?

Cozymilly:
yes he's entitled 6 months quit notice. But before that serve him with owners recovery of premises so that he will know after his 6 months you can arrest him & charge him to court if he doesn't leave. But for now don't take law into your hands. Patience is key when dealing with tenants under our law

arthurwillia:


Ok so the next 6 months he will stay in my house free? Is that what it means?

arthurwillia:


Ok so the next 6 months he will stay in my house free? Is that what it means?

Cozymilly:
sadly but yes, you have to endure for the next 6 months. But prior to that you should paste recovery of premises / notice to quit on his door.

Cozymilly:
sadly but yes, you have to endure for the next 6 months. But prior to that you should paste recovery of premises / notice to quit on his door or where he will see it. That way he will know that you can proceed to court if he doesn't leave after 6 months.

Socialsunny14:

No, your wrong. Somebody who's rent has already expired is not entitled to six months. Notice to quit in that context is served during the existence of a lease. Supposing I am a yearly tenant, I am entitled to 6 months notice to quit before the expiration of my lease not after expiration..

Are you a lawyer?

arthurwillia:


Then that’s not justice
If he’s staying free
Well seeing my lawyer he's staying will not be free poo. He will pay for the six months he will stay, that is what the law says not free. Many people have this misconception. How can you stay in someone's house for free. Quit notice does not make he's stay free he will pay in full for those did months. on Monday .
