Howdy,
To make a long story short, my parents gave half of our semi-attached home for rent. They put up a wall, and there is a side entrance, so that the people downstairs have complete privacy. They wrote a contract, which says that they will stay for one year, and pay monthly rent, it's not a fancy contract, but still a written contract.
They started off fine, paying rent and all. However, come September, they payed for only the first 2 weeks, saying that they can't afford the rest, and they are sorry, bla bla, and they will be moving out. However, it's Sept. 23rd, and they have pretty much stayed over a week for free. Now, it's a couple, kinda young, and my parents don't like them much, they think they are kinda, I guess the word in English would be "thugs"Anyways, they don't want to make too much of a scene, worried they might be assholes and make troubles for us or something.
Now, I'm guessing my parents are letting them stay until the end of this month for free, which is obviously stupid, but I think they just wanna get rid of them fast. However, what can WE as the landlord do, if come October, these people are fucking around, say things like, we wanna stay longer, or, simply that they aren't leaving? I'm not sure how the laws work, but my parents don't wanna have to go get a lawyer, and drag this thing out and make it a big deal.
Any ideas, suggestions would help. And by the way, I live in Ontario, Canada. So laws are probably different from the U.S.
Thnx,
T.
