Anyone offer cash for keys, get them to accept and have them sign a return of possesion form. Then change the locks and don't pay them a dime.

This tenant has a $4800+ balance and the judge just awarded my mother $1700 today after listening to the tenants sob story. Unbelievable.

Yes I know it should have never went this far but my hands are tied legally, it's not my tenant/property and my mother isn't really capable of managing anymore. The place is full of junk, including the basement. If we have to actually evict it will cost us a good amount, if she leaves on her own before eviction we'll be left with all kinds of junk. I don't think not paying her a few hundred to move out is anywhere near stooping down to her level. Maybe I'll just load up a dump trailer with all her crap and help her move her stuff into a big pile on her new front yard haha.
