Convict moves in unannounced....

Thomas Jones
Posted

So I have my first floor tenants who give me lots of problems. I am owner occupied 4 family and I live on the top. I have had to install 4 security cameras because of him. He has generally 25 people in and out of his house a day.

So last month October 30th his brother gets out of jail and decides to move him into his apt. He is on the ankle bracelet and had the sheriff come and install the receiver. After this he asks permission to have him stay there. Giving me a sob story about seeing his kids for thanksgiving I give him until December 1st and charge him an extra $100.

It is Dec. 2nd and he is still there. He is saying he is waiting for the sheriff to come he has already filed papers.

*What do I do? Can I call the sheriff and have him removed? ( I dont want bad with an ex con)

*Do I threaten an eviction for breaking lease and having him trespass?

*Or suck it up and collect the extra $100/month? (in mind w/ him being there his wife and 2 children are usually there during the day. the occupants went from 4 - 8.)

O please advise!

:cry:
