house in another state tenant ask for repair but wont give access

[Jay Jones]

I am having an issue with my renter in another state.  I don't have a property manager there. From day one the tenant has screamed at me over the phone that the repairs are insufficient. every time I make a repair he comes up with a new issue.  he is now at a point where he is not allowing access to the property to get the repair done and sending me threating email that he will not pay the rent because the repairs are not done. I have documented everything. the repair guys have also documented everything. have made several attempts to schedule appointments to correct the problems. He refuses to work with me.  What do I do?renter keeps complaining that repairs are not taking care of. yet won't accept calls from the repair guys and he picks fights with everyone repeatedly so the repairs don't get done.

Jay Jones you may want to consider that you might be getting “set up” by a professional tenant. Consider talking to an attorney and getting ahead of this before it’s too late.
