Hi there, I have an issue with renters in my apartment in okotoks.
I have been renting for the last 2 months (November would be the 3rd) to a couple (boyfriend and girlfriend) and they were 2 days late with rent in September, 14 days late with rent in October.
This morning, I received a call from the lady renter telling me she had moved out and wasn't sure if I would be getting my rent next month. Her boyfriend was "comes up and the place smelled like marijuana" and also his friend had moved in and been living there for 2 weeks with out my notice. I called the RCMP this morning as it all didn't sound good (considering the coke and weed). RCMP later called me and said both men had been arrested, one (the non renter) for an outstanding warrant and the other for stealing from the lady on the lease. I asked the officer if any illegal activity had happened in my property and he said yes but he wouldn't tell me what and said I wouldn't be able to use it on an eviction notice.
So, the lady has moved out and asked for her damage deposit back, I said no as it would be covering novembers rent. She texted me back saying he would like to continue paying me rent. Obviously I just want them out at this point. Anybody know how I handle this? He also has no contact info as his phone is out of service.
The contract has been broken in my mind by;
A) 2/2 late rent payments
B) someone else living there not on the lease
C) illegal activity (I'm not allowed to use)
D) the 2 people on the lease only 1 is now there..
If anybody can give me any advice I would really appreciate the help.
Thank you.
