Hi guys, new to this forum so please be kind to me. It seems a great fountain of knowledge and I was hoping some of you may be able to advise on a current predicament I have with an existing tenant.
The tenancy commenced on 8th January 2021 on a 6 month fixed AST.
The tenant rents a room in a shared house with 2 other tenants. The communal facilities are shared.
Since moving in the tenant has caused damage to various items and flooded the place. Trying to prove intent is difficult however.
The tenant has emailed several times wishing to leave, and then has retracted this. In one instance the tenant packed their items up and then left in the middle of the night only to return the next day.
Yesterday the tenant once again gave written notice to leave, which I subsequently accepted. They are now trying to retract this. Are they able to do this?
Secondly, the other tenants have raised concerns about the tenants mental health. There are various examples given to the tenant playing the same song on repeat for hours to the tenant drawing on themselves including drawings on their throat. The tenant is also displaying signs of multiple personalities with bouts of rudeness, aggression and then decency.
Am I able to hold the tenant to their notice period, effectively ending their tenancy on the 7th April, despite them still being within a fixed term ASAP?
I'm also concerned for the well being of the 2 other tenants living in the property due to the varying instances taking place on a day to day basis. Is there a way to get the tenant out before the end of the fixed term?
Finally, I'm becoming increasingly worried about the tenants mental health. I haven't a clue where to start with this or what can be done. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies this is long winded and hope some of you can help me please.
Thanks
Sean
