My agent gave my tenant a notice to vacate as they are problematic - they pay their rent but have the place in a terrible condition and I suspect they are subletting or have many more people living there than on the lease. I changed PMs early this year as the previous one wasn't interested in sorting the issues out and this new agent recommended we let the tenants go.
The agent has been unable to contact them since the notice was given. Does the tenant have the right to stay on at the property based on them not receiving the notice? In the past they've claimed multiple times that they haven't received rent increase letters and periodic inspection letters.
Is this one of those fun situations where the owner just has to suck it up and cross fingers the tenants play fair or is there something more that can be done to ensure they go? I initially asked if the notice to vacate letter could be sent via registered mail so we had evidence of receipt but my PM said this is not allowed.
