Relocating to Wiltshire from Vancouver but existing tenant refuses to move out.

You may also need to put your dogs in kennels whilst in tempory lets. Unless you go very cheap (caravan park) or very expensive (dog friendly cottage hire) most temp lets say no to dogs, especially flats.

Dont mean to sound bleak just thinking practically/realistically

Tisbury is a lovely place, but if you want to rent for a while while you look round for a house to buy, consider other places in Wiltshire.It’s not a huge county and there are many nice villages, and also Swindon which always has many places to rent for 6 months or a year.

Unfortunately this is the system. The existing tennants wont get assistance with onward housing if they leave willingly. That would make them "voluntarily homeless". The citizens advice service has probably advised them to stay put until forced out.

Could take some time.

Nobody can speak to estate agents on your behalf it wont work. Why not hire a holiday let for a few weeks so you are in the area and free to view vacant properties as they come up
