Letting agent recently went bust owing a lot of his landlords rent money. He owes us 4 months rent which we don't have much hope of getting back. Our tenants rent is now paid by the council direct to us.
We have just discovered our letting agent (a friend of our tenant) is actually living in our flat whilst our tenant is living in his mums house.
My dh isn't that bothered as long as the rent is being paid but I am fuming. I don't know what I should be doing about this. If I report our tenant to the council how long would it take to get the letting agent out of our flat? What rights will our tenant have as I now obviously want him out and to find a new tenant. My dh thinks we should do nothing.
We are in Scotland if that makes any difference.
