So are you saying I could give them Notice to Leave ( how much notice? ) and if they refuse, then progress down the Eviction route after 3 months? Is this the case in Scotland too?

It sounds like a lot of ongoing hassle to me - not good for the blood pressure or the bank balance. If you can afford to, and if you think it would sell, would it be worth putting the house on the market then putting the proceeds of sale into something closer to home that you could keep an eye on?

Yes, you could give them Notice to Leave. The minimum amount of notice required should be in the terms and conditions of the tenancy agreement – the document signed by the tenant.

If they haven’t left the property after that date then you can go down the Eviction Notice route on the grounds that they have not paid rent in full or on time (in breach of their tenancy agreement) despite you making “reasonable adjustments” regarding the payment dates.

That is how I am reading the The Private Housing (Tenancies) Scotland Act 2016. Specifically Chapter 3, Part 50 and Schedule 3.

Get a copy of the signed tenancy agreement and seek independent advice (as in, not what your letting agent or usual solicitor says – particularly if they are linked). The CAB would be a good place to start – even an English one.

Personally I would dump your letting agent as they don't seem to be doing a very good job. If all they are doing is collecting the rent and not succeeding in that, I would either find another letting agent or get the tenants to pay you via electronic transfer. If they can't do that they can send you a cheque and if they don't do that chuck them out...simples.

When I was letting my house I sent the tenants a stamped addresses envelope every month so they could send a cheque to me. I then claimed the stamps and envelopes as an expense against my tax.

Thank you everyone who has commented. I am going to phone on Monday once I have studied their signed tenancy agreement

I have looked into the rental agreement and it appears the tenants hold all the cards!! They have agreed to repay the shortfall(s) over the next 8 months. The first repayment came through on time but - here we are again!

As far as I can see, my only option is to give my tenants notice on the grounds that I will be selling the house!

To say I am disgusted is putting it very mildly !

i just hope that Section 21 in england still stays valid. its there because of cases/tenants like yours.

are you a member of NLA or anything similar? we also use the landlords forum for advice and information, well worth a look !

Letting is a mine-field, and dodgy tenants Charter. Once they are in, they can mess about from day 1 if they so wish. And the savvy ones know this.
I dont think i could handle being messed about by this, and would go up there with a couple of 'heavies' and a locksmith.

I know it would end up with me in court, but i think it would be worth it to know i had stopped the scrotes getting one over on me. Once tenants know they are on 'borrowed time', they trash the property, knowing there is no real redress to be had.
This assertion is borne out by family and friends who let out. Its happened to all of them before today.
