Help Evicting a Military Family

[Bridget Smith-Osbourne]

Hello BP Family, 

Has anyone had to evict a military family? After two months of tenancy, I've decided to evict my tenants, a military family for non payment of rent & unfit living conditions. During a site visit of the premises, I observed hoarding conditions of my newly renovated unit. After giving them a notice to vacate premises, they have repeatedly called/texted me with which I believe are erroneous claims. For example  water leaking from upstairs. I sent someone to assess the condition and they would not allow them inside. I refuse to answer any calls from them or respond to their texts. 

I blame myself for not doing a better job of tenant due diligence & screening.  I have filed papers for summary ejectment. I believe they are professional tenants! Someone suggested that I reached out to the JAG Millitary Headquarters about this situation and possible reimbursement for damages. Has anyone reached out to the Military regarding their difficult tenant, non payment of rent and property damages. 

Thank You 

Bridget

Never had to do it myself but try to get in contact with their CO. Pressure from that end may help them see the light.
