Fellow landlords looking for advice
Hello,.
I am caught in an awkward spot here. I have rent a bedroom and a bathroom to a boarder in my house. We share the same kitchen and laundry. I asked him to vacate by April 30th on March 31st but he told me mid April he is unable to find anything I decide to give him another month and texted him to leave by May 31st positively as i am moving out to a different city for work and would renting out the whole unit to one family. I have signed lease agreement with the new tenants who are set to come in on June 1st.
I looked online and it says because he is boarder or occupant. Tenancy rules don't apply to him after 31st of May he is technically a tresspaszer and i can keep ho things outside of my property for him to pick up. And RCMP can be present to make sure nothing leads to altercations.
Just to confirm i called the RCMP non emergency line and they said they don't deal with this and i have to deal with BC residency tenancy branch and they after going through all the loops of its not me its Small claim court or it's the tribunal it finally ended at BC supreme court.
My question here is this correct information? Do i need to get the supreme court involved to get a boarder out of my property.
Really stressed and panicking about how do i deal with this while planning move starting a new job and having the space available for new tenants to move in.
