Reply to comment by brknsoul in LPT request: how to get rid of a bad renter? by MastrovNL

The Netherlands. She has a year contract with us which can only be ended after a year or when a judge decided she has to go (after 3 months on no payment). She kinda left the house and moved to her bf because the bills started piling up and she can't pay. So I'm stuck with a room where I cant put in a new renter.

Looks like you might have to get the courts involved. Partial payments can be considered late payments and is grounds for legal eviction.

Looks like the Netherlands is very pro-tenant. I suggest you look for legal advice.

Yeah I'm afraid we have to. The issue is that we have to pay legal fees in advance. And if we win (which we probably will) she has to pay it back. But she doesn't have any money. So it's kind of a gamble if it would cost us more money or not. Thanks for your help!

Offer her cash to move. Say “listen we don’t get along. If your stuff is out by date Y and you return the keys I’ll give you $X”.

Sounds crazy… but its often how landlords get bad tenants out.
