Hi All,
I have a difficult dilemma how to deal with a tenant in a triplex in Ontario. This guy helps by being a handyman, fixing things, being the most knowledgeable about the property and keeping his eye on things.. he cuts the grass and helps shovel snow sometimes.. (not always but no one else does that)
ON THE OTHER HAND, he is not paying full rent, missing $50, $100 or $200 each month. Also, none of the above is part of our agreement.
He deposits the rents directly into my account and was the only tenant not willing to provide post dated cheques (now you know why)
I`m tempted to send him a Notice to End a Tenancy Early For Non-payment of Rent (Form N4) today BUT here is why I`m having such a difficult dilemma:
Yes, he`s paying on average $100 less than he should BUT he easily saves me $300 a month by being a handyman, property manager and maintenance guy. he literally saves me all property management fees and maintenance and repair costs!
So... is it a win-win situation or not? What would you do in this situation?
THANKS & REGARDS,
Neil
