Dear Ozbargain,
I have moved out of my previous apt and have rented it to my friend out of kindness as he was apparently looking for temporary lodging. That was more than 6 months ago and my contract had ended roughly 3-4 months ago. I have not renewed the contract but I cannot terminate the lease either as he is refusing to move out saying he is homeless and broke. This is a studio apartment in the city centre which is costing me $350/week and he is only intermittently paying very small amounts of rent. He is also trying to borrow money from me and becomes threatening when I refuse.
I have been paying most of the rent for the last 6-7 months and unable to evict him as I am technically breaking the rental agreement by subletting the room. I am at my wits' end and welcome any feasible plan of action.
I thank you in advance for your advice!
with friends like this who needs enemy's!.
