I have personalised and changed location for privacy.
My OH and I have been renting a house here for 4 years due to his work contract and location.
We have been renting out our house in Brighton and for the last 4 years it has been rented to the same family on rolling contract. They have been excellent tenants.
We need to go back home as his contract is completed and gave the neccessary 2 months notice to quit to our tenants as per contract. Perhaps foolishly we have started to make clearance and moving arrangement to move back but holidays and his new contract actually mean we are "homeless "for a few weeks. This is our problem and we will deal with it.
Out tenants asked for a 3 month extention and we said we could not accommodate this. I will be at home (in Brighton) and he will have weekday accommodation near his new contract and returning home for weekends.
Now agent who has been in charge of rental of our home has said tenants have once again asked for extention as they will be leaving Brighton in 3 months and cannot find accommodation for this short 3 month period.
He said "he had to make us aware that there may may be an issue with them vacating in line with the notice issued."
I haven't replied to today's email from agent as my head is buzzing. I have every sympathy for excellent tenants but don't feel I should be denied the return to my home when I have complied with the technicalities.
PS I did try to make this as short and clear as possible.
Any advice will be gratefully received.
