Moving or lack of...

On May 26th we gave the renters of our new house their 30 days notice. They were on month to month leases and agreed to move should we ask them to. Since June 26th (technically 31 days) at least once a week one of them tells us he's moving "this weekend" sometimes both of them, and yet nothing. Not to mention the guy who hasn't paid a penny since we gave him his notice and was way behind to begin with.

It has been a constant battle with them always telling us they have a place lined up and then they don't. Recently it has been "I have to fix up the place first" and "I have to wait on the utility company". Quite frankly I don't believe any of it, and Patrick and I are very aggravated. There is so much stuff that he could be working on out there if we could get just one of them to move out, not to mention the amount of stuff that could be done if both of them were out.

The next step would probably be to do all the eviction/small claim stuff, but honestly I don't want to have to do that. Why is it that people cant just do the right thing and move out of other peoples houses when asked? Why must everyone overstay their welcome?

The frustration continues...
