You're getting flack but you're not wrong. When I moved into my current house I was a landlord for over 3 years adopting the basement tenant already in the house. Rent was well below market rate and I never raised it. We were both respectful. Ultimately I terminated their lease because I have kids that are getting older and I need the extra space as well as just not in the mental headspace to rent my basement anymore. I've since gutted it with the intention of making it a proper finished basement for us all to enjoy.

I gave them over 3 months notice. First month rent back and provided references.

Some of us just want to do good.

  • I'm glad you're a human with empathy and good intentions, but tenants shouldn't be in a position that their housing (one of the most fundamental rights of people) relies on the good will of whatever landlord they happen to be stuck with.
