Evicton Question

[Chris Da]

Well, have an interesting situation with a tenant that I just evicted.

Well, I followed the rules..3yr tenant all of the sudden just figured they no longer need to pay rent. Tried to contact them, as Oct rent was not payed. Finally got ahold of them and asked what was going on. (They are having marriage problems, and they are't too bright either) Anyway, I tried to explain that they need to pay the rent, and I was told to go to hell in a few words. Marched to my truck and bang, posted the eviction notice, as I now no I am getting nowhere. Well, today was court day and I won. Big deal..Now they have to vacate in 10 days, and after 10days if they don't vacate, I have to file for the sherrif to remove them...10 more days, and they know it.
After court, the downstairs neighbor called me to let me know they have been running the water full blast for the last few hours, as they plan on jacking my water bill into the thousands as some type of sick revenge.

Well, what am I to do. I knocked on the door, I then entered, and went off on them like a mad man. I wasn't nice, as they were flooding my apartment on purpose..I went down stairs to the non access basement and turned the water off to their unit..

Now, what am I to do? I know you can't turn off peoples water, but what do I do? Let them ruin my building? What can I really do? Is it my fault they didn't pay the rent? No. I followed the rules, and this is what I get. From what I gather, I am really not even allowed to enter their apartment, but I consider that an emergency.

So what do you do? There water is still off as of now, and I am not going to turn it back on to have them ruin my building and disrupt the handicaped lady below them.

I am willing to do what ever it takes. There has to be a simple way to solve this. (Trust me , I have some ideas that I am not going to post.) But honestly, what is a way to handle this situation which won't get me in trouble.

What are some ways that may not be so suggested, but work well in times like this?

Good friend of mine who owns 150+ properties tells me just to play dumb like them. Says they will call legal aid, and then legal aid will call me, to just play dumb. Then go over and back up the sewer in their unit, then take the electric meter off the house, and play dumb, then he tells me to install a siren in the basement pointing in to their apartment and set it off at 2am and leave, and play dumb, then he says the best way is to jump 220 to all the 110 outlets and all their possessions will be ruined. Mind you this guy has the money to pull this nonsense and gets fined for doing so, but really doesn't care.

Now that you all see the advice I am getting, I was hoping someone on here could give me a more proper way of handling the situation. Unlike my friend, I don't have enough money to play these silly games that he does.
I would like the correct answers. thanks
