At the end of the lease term, you approach the tenant about renewing the lease or moving out. The tenant refuses to leave and starts defaulting on the rent. If you think it is not normal, think again.   AirBNB is in a lot of trouble recently because people who rent properties are not leaving. After living rent free for 540 days, one tenant in Brentwood hills of Los Angeles asked for a relocation fee of $100,000 for her to move out.   We hear such stories in the news more and more.  A man in Decatur, Georgia in the U.S came home from his military service on vacation and found out that someone was already living in the home.  Deployed soldier
