Evictions

[Heather Faires]

Hello Group!

I'm curious. Have you or anyone you know used a unique or interesting way to remove an undesirable tenant from your property. I'm not interested in traditional evictions (unless it's a great story!)

I plan to use your responses in an article I'm writing for landlords. Thanks!

@Heather Faires Unfortunately unique / interesting ways of evicting tenants not via the court system opens the landlord up to levels of liability that are not acceptable.

Cash for keys with possibly debt forgiveness is by far the cheaper option than going the eviction route in most cases.  It's better for the tenant and offers the landlord the opportunity to get the property back earning income faster.  While this can seem very unfair, ultimately the sooner the landlord has a paying tenant in place the better for all involved.
