Can I choose not to renew a lease for a disabled veteran?
I have a tenant that I inheritated when I purchased two SFH on one lot. This tenant complains about everything. The latest incident was him complaining about his neighbors brakes squeeking when he's parking at night. He even called the police on this nice, quiet family. They are not getting along at all due to his constant complaining and confrontations that were initiated by him. I have told the complaining tenant numerous times not to bother me with these types of complaints as this man has the right to normal comings and goings. He was of course not happy with this and decided to pull the "disabled veteran card". I have never made any reference to his disablity in any way shape or form. I am quite frankly sick and tired of dealing with this man. He has sucked far to much of my time from me. I had planned to raise his rent when his lease expires (in a few months), but at this point I don't want to deal with him any longer. Can I choose not to renew his lease due to his disability? I already have a call into my attorney however, she has been out of the office. Just wanting some feedback from those that have more experience than I do.
