My current lodger gave me 4 weeks notice and paid me £80 and informed me to use his deposit as this months rental. As I am 'nice' person I foolishly agreed to this. However, a new lodger came to see the room and when I saw my current lodger I told him that he would need to vacate the property this weekend ( a week earlier than he should be doing) as my new lodger starts a new job on Monday. Since this discussion with my current lodger, I have not seen him and he is obviously sleeping elsewhere. If I do not see him before Sunday can I empty the room and leave his possessions in a secure garage until he bothers to turn up? He has also been smoking in the room and has ruined the carpet which will need to be replaced and the room needs cleaning. I have no form of contact for him either!
Many thanks
