Fair or unfair? Tenants(both Intellectually Disabled) given notice. Landlord wants flat for himself.?

It's HIS property. If he wants to live there it's certainly his right. He's under no obligation to continue to rent to them just because they're retarded.

Let's say you own 2 properties

1 that you rent

the other you live in

You have been hammered by this economy & need to downsize

So you need to move into the rental so that you can sell the house

If proper notice was given, I don't see how this is unfair....

I understand your point & I am sure they are nice people... but, things happen in life that cause changes... in this case, the landlord is making some sort of change & needs/wants to live in this flat... that is causing your friends to have to make changes....

I don't see that it's unfair. The fact that the tenants are mentally challenged shouldn't have to be a consideration for the landlord if he wants to live in the flat himself. It's unfortunate but that's life. It happens to everyone.

It's fair. Just because the tenants are "nice" doesn't mean that the landlord has to rent out to anyone (disabled or not) it's his property!

if the landlord is kicking them out JUST because he wants the flat, no. Tenants can't be kicked out unless they are late on paying rent, or damaged the place, or is violating their lease in any way.

Sadly, it is fair, but it isn't very nice.
