Hi folks,
Five months ago, my wife and I made an unusual arrangement in order to find tenants for one of our units.
Long story short: we were trying to find tenants at one of the worst times of the year, and settled on three young guys who
had good references but terrible credit (I know - we`ve read countless times that it`s better to let a unit
go empty than fill it with dubious tenants. But it`s so much easier to read it than actually do it...)
Because these guys had bad credit, they didn`t want to apply for an account with the local utility. So we told them we`d
put our name on the account, and they could reimburse us every two months.
We`ve had two bills from the utility since they moved in, and they reimbursed us for the first bill. For the second bill,
we`ve emailed them twice telling them what they have to pay. Surprise! They haven`t responded.
We can see this happening every two months, and just want to get rid of them.
Do we have grounds to give them notice?
Any advice (without mockery) would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Moe
