Tenants from HELL in Cleveland, OH

[Gill Winslow]

BPers, 

I just officially underwent my tenant from hell experience and must I say I am completely EXHAUSTED. I have ASKED MYSELF "is this business even for me"? I'm just wondering for all you landlords out there, how do you deal with the stress of tenant issues and drama filled tenants that want to call code on your home, file documents in court asking to stay after an eviction has been filed, and all that other rigga monroe??? 

I would rather be hands off if possible (maybe hiring just a maintenance person or two to service the properties). I've been in a situation where I have even been MACED in the face by a tenant. I am a calm professional and just have had some odd occurrences where i'm unsure at this point on weather I want to continue to work in these C class areas with the caliber of renters it brings. I have screened well and need to go back to the drawing board apparently. Also, let me just add, I am familiar with the community I work with. I am not an investor that just bought in an area "just because" the ROI is good. Although the area can be rough, I am not afraid of the area. THOUGHTSS?
