Calling all bush lawyers

The guy is a moron.

If he thinks the notice period doesn't mean anything tell him he has to leave tonight.

Good point, give the cunt his bond and tell him to fuck off right now lol

Demanding refund for days he's not there shows he's just being an arse.

Keep your dealings with this guy polite and to the point - don't respond in any abusive or antagonistic manner. Keep records of all conversations, txt messages etc.

Yup fuck off and I'll see you in court (assuming he goes that way). Skewered himself a bit by putting that in a text.

So you have a written flatsharing agreement with him?

If so then it is simple. It's a written contract, he has to follow through on his end and pay rent up until the end of the notice period.

If you have used the standard DBH flatsharing form then I can see where he thinks he is entitled to that, but he is misreading the clauses:

6. This agreement can be terminated by 14 days’ notice given by either party in writing.

and

11. At the end of this agreement, the head tenant will return the bond to the flatmate immediately. The head tenant
can deduct from the bond any cost which is outstanding and is the responsibility of the flatmate.

If he misread this he could have interpreted it as once you give notice the agreement is over, hence clause 11 comes in. However the agreement is not over until the 14 days notice is up, as is stated in clause 6.

So heres my situation.

Im renting a house, my name is the only one on the tenancy agreement.
I have three flatmates living with me who have all signed the agreement attached.

On the 31/7/11 I gave one of them their 14 days notice to move out.

He has decided to make this difficult.

A txt i got from him today



Now our agreement says


So even if he moves out our agreement doesnt end till 13/8/11 yes?
Therefore the remainder or the rent is mine? I have not got anyone else to move in yet.

Any thoughts? or facts =]
