Hi there
At one of my properties we have had multiple changes of tenants due to it being in the University area with tenants swapping out amongst themselves.
Some of these are documented on change of tenant forms for the bond centre but not on a new lease agreement.
At present one of the current tenants is documented as a continuing tenant on a change of tenant form but not on a lease agreement.
I have delivered multiple new lease agreements with the same terms for them to complete (including postage paid envelopes) and they will not return them.
The property is now on the market and despite the current documented tenant (we have only her contact details) being pleasant and cooperative with regards to viewings the agent turned up today to be told "go away, we are not on a lease to be here, you have no right to come in".
There are no issues with their rent payments and are consistently paying rent (coming from the documented tenants bank account).
What are my options here? Surely even without a written lease agreement they have "contracted in" to the RTA via paying rent and living in the property for over 2 years?
Is this something that can go through Tenancy Tribunal? I am happy for them to stay if they would be willing to sign a new tenancy agreement.
Thanks
