My Barrie tenant´s always paid late though he used to be paid up by month end but now he´s backed up that he hasn´t even paid anything for September. 1) If there´s no maintenance issues is there anything else he can "countersue" for (as he´s threatened to do) if I proceed with L1? I already issued him an N4 deadline of sept. 21 for rent owing for Sept. & part of August - & Sept. 21 he paid up $60 remaining from August and says he´ll "try his best to pay Sept. total" next Wednesday. I doubt this as he´s always paid in bi-weekly installments b4 or more and am not even sure if he got a full-time job as he claims - he`s been on UI since December 2009 and then had a temporary job lately.
2) Would it be easier if I just do an N12 - can I use this if I plan to use the place as a weekend home "for a few months" or does it have to be a full move-in??
3) I can`t chase him for monies as I don´t know where he works or even if he works at all.
4) Should I just put the place up for sale for a higher-than-market price to force him out?
5) Is it a bad or a good thing that I`ve issued several N4 in the past - coz the difference this time is he´s rent will be overdue by over a month now unlike before.
