Laugh or Cry? Perhaps Both

[Lee G.]

I just bought a 4 plex that's adjacent to another property of mine. I unfortunately inherited a bunch of subprime tenants. Fortunately, most signed short leases with me so they can be moved along quickly.

Anyway, what would you do in this situation?

Got a call from one tenant (who I'm evicting for not paying rent) saying the cops showed up and busted the tenants in another unit for pot. My lease says I can evict immediately without the right to cure for any illegal activity. I suspect it's a first offense so they'll loose their driver's license for 6 months, get a steep fine and get probation.

So laugh? Cry? Evict? I guess I have the full spectrum of grief right there.
