Second time I've had to kick a tenant out if four years

[Jack B.]

I own a few rentals and had a tenant that got a dog (unauthorized, no pets allowed), had other people living there, trashed the like new carpets and the freshly painted walls and new doors, not to mention left behind truck loads of trash (only in the shed and the yard though).

She had a habit of not being able to pay rent on time. Would lie about paying the next day then a week later still hadn't paid, etc. Always some sob story. Neighbors told me she was dealing drugs out of the house, people coming and going all night, etc.

So she sees I don't mess around when I go to serve her notice to pay rent or vacate. Next month, she gives notice (Month to month lease to protect me). Go down there at the end of the month, still not out. Go down there today, STILL not out. Slams door in my face, threatens me, and calls me all kinds of unfriendly names and insults not to mention racial slurs.

I leave tell her to get out NOW before the cops come, then I go around the corner to call 911, several houses down, to avoid confrontation. Mind, you I have ALL of this on HD video via my body cam. That's right, I have a dash cam in my car and a body cam on my person all the time, though usually only use it when dealing with tenants. In any case, cops didn't show after 4 HOURS. Luckily she and her loser boyfriend left within about 2 hours while I was waiting. Neighbors who have had issues with her let me use their bathroom while I waited several houses down in my car for my safety.

As soon as she left I changed the locks and started cleaning the place up. Left me truck loads of garbage in the shed and yard. and I need to do some painting and hire a carpet cleaner. Replace the blinds, etc. Deposit will definitely not cover it. I have a half a mind to sue her to teach her a lesson, not just for her insults but the damage. I can really screw her over good, good luck finding a decent place to live with a civil judgement from a landlord.

I almost want to email her (against my better judgement) and let her know that (in response to her text about me being mean), I am generally not going to lay down and be walked on when tenants are trashing my house, not paying their rent, have unauthorized dogs, unauthorized tenants, damage, and still there DAYS after they were supposed to be out.

I also want to tell her that I paid more in federal income tax than her and her loser boyfriend COMBINED in response to her very specific insult and that her little insult just makes me laugh because she is too dumb to understand just how much of a loser she is and that I paid cash for that house when I was in my mid twenties and it's one of MANY I own and rent out. 

Oh, and just to note, I got ZERO help from the Tacoma police after I was threatened, had my own door slammed in my face by a trespasser. They put the call out, but four hours later still no one showed up. Per her lease her right to occupy the premises as a tenant ended November at midnight with no right to be on the property explicitly stated in the lease....

I know unless I take her to district court I won't get any money. But at least I will be a warning to other landlords about this LOSER.
