Bad tenants - Is there a website to warn other landlords

N/A N/A
Posted

I have a question I would like to ask.

I have been wondering, I am currently going through an eviction with a tenant and this tenant knows how to work the system. I am assuming this person has been through it before.

I would like to be able to warn others about this person and did not know if there is a website that could do this. (Legal?) I don't know if you can list names of people who work the system and try to live at places for free. Until the sheriff comes to move them out!!!

One of the things I used to do back when I had rentals was to use "screeingg" clauses in my lease. I would write in clauses that had the tenant waiving their rights to notices, waiving their right to their "exempt" personal property that could be attached, etc. Each of these clauses had a separate spot for tenants to initial.

If the tenant pointed out that such clauses were illegal under such and such a part of the Texas Real Property Code, or the Texas Landlord/Tenant law, or that the "People's Lawyer" on Channel Two said it was illega, I KNEW that this guy got familiar with the law at the expense of some "sucker" landlord.

From 1980 until 2000, I had between two and 16 rentals. In all that time I did THREE EVICTIONS, and one of those moved out before the hearing. Not a bad batting average.
