Okay, here's the deal. I've had a boarder in my house since February. Every week there's been an issue about either catching up on his board payment or security (which he caught up on). Now, I've decided to sell my house and I have a for sale sign out in front of my house because I will be listing it soon. My boarder now uses that excuse to not pay the rent. He says that he assumed he had to move so he's living out his security, yet he said he didn't want to move. Initially, I told him that until the house was sold he had no reason to move and he would be given plenty of notice if they didn't want him to stay on. Then I asked him for the rent and he said he didn't have it. At this point, I agreed with his decision because I just don't need the aggravation, and wrote him a letter stating so and will expect him to vacate by the end of the month.
He also claimed he is a spend thrift and blows all his money as soon as he gets it (probably has a swiss bank account or two.. lol). I have given him several chances to give me the rent and he was 15 days late last month.
He gets 2 Workmen's Compensation checks a month (double what his room and board is BTW) and also works off the books for a friend doing construction.
