First Eviction Completed - FINALLY

[Elena T.]

Just wanted to share in my elation - it's been a long few months!

I started the eviction process on my tenant the last week of January, and as of TODAY, I have my house back! The eviction process is the worst process I've ever completed. In California, the tenant has so many opportunities to make things right before the process is completed. I understand there are slumlords taking advantage of tenants, but there are as many tenants taking advantage of their landlord. Throughout this process, my understanding of why a lot of individuals do not follow through with the process grew. It much easier (so long as they move out on their own) to just clean up the place and get a new tenant. 

Over-all, this was a true learning experience and many a lessons were learned. Mainly, I realized I was not truly treating my investment properties as a business and it wasn't until it stuck me, hard. Because of this experience, my lease is a lot stronger, I am wiser and my investment is better cared for. 

Now, onto the next step: recouping my lost rent!
