Offered my tenant 30k (1/3 of annual rent for 1 bed apartment) to vacate my apartment at end of current tenancy in almost 6 months time. Tenant refuses to even communicate or allow access. Initially allowed access on two occasions although intimidated the viewers a little.
Tenant has now told agent can't do viewings for 4 weeks due to work abroad and yet at same time answered phone at Dubai workplace today..
My questions are:
1. why would anyone turn down that offer of compensation when so much notice is still being given - when the other option is zero compensation in a years time when rents can be expected to be even higher
2. how do i get access to the apartment legitimately for viewings, i have a clause in tenancy stating i can inspect the apartment even in tenants absence ( however i believe tenant has changed locks on door)
3. am i doing something morally or legally incorrect ?
This must be a very common scenario and any advice or opinion would be much appreciated.
I really feel like I'm missing something here, even agent doesn't understand. Tenant been very reasonable up to now but today threatened to get lawyer involved if agent even called again !?
