Help! Tenant Suspicious Activity and Pays Partially

[Danielle Thomas]

Please help! I don’t want my home involved in a crime, can’t prove anything, but there is so much suspicious activity happening!

I moved out and rented my home out to a tenant I found on Zillow. I’ve since seen many red flags that things are not as they should be. I think they are either running a scam or an airbnb out of my home. She lied about being at her job for 3 years when it had only been 3 months, lied about her income level and prior rent payments. She is very unresponsive, and did not pay the last months rent upfront as agreed upon. She took down my camera that was placed over the front door.

Most importantly, I rented my home to a lady and her 2 daughters, but it is pretty clear that she does not live there, it is only a man’s stuff in the master bedroom closet, and a man’s name on the utilities. There’s a suspicious car in the garage with no license plate on it, and she’s lied about pretty much everything she’s told me. I got a picture of her drivers license but am now doubting that was even real. She pays rent on Zelle through multiple other peoples names, and so I am getting partial payments (though she hasn’t paid the total amount) which I think means I can not evict her. Is there anything I can do????
