I trusted a tennant with $400.00 to pay an electrician and she it

Posted

Hi I entrusted my tennant with$400.00 for an electrician to be paid for work that was expected to be done. The electrician came and said I need a new hot water service but he didnt charge me anything.my tennant took it upon herself to spend the $400 dollars on herself. My problem is 

(A) She spent my money and 

(B) The lease is in the names of the tennant and her sons.

I dont want her in the place as she has been ripping off her sons as well as my money. Her sons dont want her there either.They have placed an AVO Order on her yesterday as she has taken to them with a carving knife.. So what can i do please?

I hate to rub salt in the wound for you but why on earth would give a tenant hundreds of dollars for service work ? That was beyond foolish . The tenant should have one responsibility and that is pay rent ! Your money is gone you’ll likely never see a penny of that 400 bucks . Chalk it up as a Lesson learned
