Tenant moving out

    I am an owner occupier and have written here previously but this is for different advice.

    I have aske the girl who rents a room in my home to move out after too many things were said. This was agreed last Thursday so she pays rent each Friday so is paid up to this Friday. On asking her to have the keys back with me by 9.30 on Friday or 1pm at the latest as i am going away for the weekend she said that she wouldn't have her stuff moved 6.30 she won't have the keys to her new place till then. Said she would put them through the letter box.

    I would rather she didn't do that but at the moment I just want a quiet life after the aggro of the last week so was thinking of asking a friend to be there while she moves her stuff and get the key off her.

    What I really want to know is , is she entitled to have the key until the Friday evening, or should she be returning them the Friday morning? ?She does have other places she could store the things she has if she started to pack now and not wait till Friday.

    thanks

    If she is paid up including Friday, she can have the keys till 11.59pm.

    She is paid up until Friday - included, so therefore she is entitled to hand the keys back at close of business on Friday

    OP be a little less harsh, you have already posted about not wanting her BF there all the time, obviously you both fell out and now she is moving out she said she will be out by 6.30pm so leave it at that, you really should be there yourself if she was such a hassle to live with, however you can by all means leave a friend there if your dont think she will put the keys back in the letterbox

    learns a lesson and next time have house rules on the wall before a person moves in, you have both behaved badly and this was they only outcome that was ever going to happen

    Unfortunately I can't be there and she knew that already. I think I'll have a friend there to get the keys just on the security side of things.

    given that you have accepted her money to stay in the place until COB/23.59 on Friday, thats your problem.

    She now wants them till Monday evening - but just had to say no, she can drop them off somewhere when she is finished.

    I'm just drained from all the aggro of last week and trying to keep it civil this week, I did apologise for the way things ended not much more can be done.

    Take care of you, OP. Please... these situations are hard work. And you are right to take the line re the keys.

    It can be very stressfull when things don't work out, just keep calm when dealing with your tenant your priority is to get tenant moved on and get your keys back. If you cant be there yourself you need someone reliable to be there instead of you.
