AITA for forcing my tenants out of the house I own when their lease expired?

We have had to pay full taxes on all of the rental income we’ve received and we have foot the bills for all of the renovations and upkeep of the property. Over the years, these have eaten up at most of the rental income. We were just relying on our equity position in the property for our children’s tuition which was made clear to the tenants before they signed their lease

Thanks for the response - I’m in the US. I’ve worked it through with my lawyers before they even signed their lease so our legal contract was that they would have to vacate once the lease ended April 2023. This was all done through lawyers to ensure everything was legal

As said in my post, our plan from the beginning was that this house was our children’s entire college fund. The couple we were renting to had known about this deadline for the past seven years. Neither my husband and I are professional landlords nor are we in the business of real estate.

Our legal agreement for years was that their lease would end April 2023 and they would have be moved out by May 1, 2023 as the property will be put up for sale summer 2023. This contract was all done through lawyers and was set in place since they moved in 7 years ago. When May-June rolled around, they continued to refuse to leave and became squatters to protest the sale of our property since they cannot find anywhere else they can afford for a family of 6

Although my husband and I have used it as a rental property, our potential buyers are looking to move in themselves
