I would get out, get the money into your hand and get on with life.

That was my thoughts too! Now I just hope my tenant leaves next week. She currently has no where to go apparently even though we advised her we were selling in Nov. I would never advise anyone to become a landlord. Its a nightmare.

Doubt she's moving in that case. The day after she's meant to be gone, start the eviction process, as Threshold will probably advise the tenant to overhold.
