Q: Dear lawyers, I would like to ask you for an advice on my situation with the tenant. At the time of signing the contract we agreed to 3 cheques payment, but started defaulting. Now he is paying monthly.How can I change this situation? Can I also increase the rent in this circumstances? Or ask the tenant to vacate the property without one year notice? Thanks and regards.

Q: My landlord is requesting me to leave the apartment at the end of tenancy period which is in 3 months. He hasn't requested this formally, I mean he only sent an email. Can this be counted? I do not want to leave as I know the reason he wants me to evict is that he wants to increase the rent on the new tenant since I have been for quite some time.
