Hi everyone, I’ve recently found out one of my tenants has a cannabis farm in my rental property.

I’ve informed the police who have investigated and are due to attend.

The tenant has not really lived in the property. The period of initial rental has expired so now he’s on a periodic tenancy.

My agent explained I simply can’t hand over the keys to the police because they will need a warrant.

My question is: Can I terminate tenancy?

Do police the change locks? If so, do they hand the property back to the tenant for me to sort out?

I’ve got the deposit in a scheme to hopefully cover any costs.

Thank you,

Craig
