Mukiha, increase the rent to 50 thousand plus 3 thousand for security. Another option is to ask him to move for a month as you renovate the house but before the month is over, rent it out or organize for two mountain size fellows to stay there for two months as you look for a proper tenant. The other option is to engage the services of a commercial house management and rent collectors where he pays at their offices. They know how to handle the likes.
Wisdom to detect when share prices hit rock bottom.
When interest on bonds keep going up, you know the bear run is on high street. When interest on bonds start leveling, the bear has met the bull and they have hit rock bottom. When the interest rates on bonds start coming down, the bull has overpowered the bear and you better be riding the bull.

Mukiha,
If this guy delays rent by almost a week every other time then the interval must be still one month ama?


I was going to suggest he changes the dates he collects rent... may be the guy is not paid like majority of other people. May be its a genuine case. Or let him choose the date that is convenient with him then make payments on that date each month... even if its on 13th or 17th of each month.

Mukiha.. I agree with Sure above.. engage the service of rental management service agencies (but only for a short time - hata hao si wazuri). They surely know how to handle "difficult" tenants..

The guy had requested to be paying on the 8th, so I wrote the 10th on the contract, he still delays to almost the end of the month!

@qw25041985: when you say "kick him out", what do you mean? I have given the guy notice and he chose to ignore it and stayed put in the house.

Now tell me: how do I "kick him out"?

@mukiha in your exact same position. This is a great post and that kicking out bit is the one that i want to know too. Not interested in hiring goons.

This demand letter thing. So you say the rent is due on 5th. If it is late, you write a demand letter for the due date. Then what? What are your options then? Do you need a lawyer for these and who pays the fees?

@Mukiha, used to have a client with a similar situation he had some houses at mucatha. I advised him the lawful way is to distress for rent, you send a letter to the auctioneer who then pins a proclamation on the tenants to collect the goods, if the tenant does not pay then the auctioneer collects the goods for auction. He just told me i don't know biashara. He went and got a carpenter and then went to the premises and removed the door. When the tenant came back home he found the door gone and a note to pick his things before the landlord let loose his dogs for the night. The tenant took off and next day the landlord had a new tenant and new conditions. Two months rent deposit you don't pay you stay for one month and the next month the door is removed and your deposit is used to repair the same.

@Mukiha, i bet this guy knows what he is doing and he knows your options, as has been suggested above talk to him get back his plasma and he might leave in peace.

From his actions he is ready for war and this might uneccessarily cost you, whether you hire goons, go to court or visit every weekend with auctioneers, he is ready thats why he paid to nullfy you notice.

My advise try diplomacy it might work and only cost you his plasma or pass on the house to an estate agent who will take care of the business(but you will lower your margins)

The other alternative is war which might lead to one of you wiping off the face of the other as has been suggested above


hopefully the said tenant is not a guest at wazua
