Con Artist got me in a bad way!

[James Bordeaux]

Hi Everyone,

I need some help. First time fix and flip turned sour and turned into a rental (Not because I wanted to) Ran out of money and needed to get a renter fast to help keep house a float. The 2nd contractor I hired turned out to be a con artist. While he was helping me "fix my house" and took me for 3k in extra repairs got me a tenant and helped get some of the rent money. Now, he's gone with no communication from him (phone voice mail isn't even the same person), the renter (who has a fake voice mail) or anyone else for that matter. We signed a lease agreement that tenant would pay rent plus an extra $350 to cover utilities. (I know, you are all already going rookie mistake, hind sight I assure you)  So, now I have someone living in my house and I am about to file bankruptcy (CHP 7) and have no money to pay for an eviction.  If the "con-tractor" is known for artistry of conning people and has a felony record, can I just call cops and kick them out and turn off utilities? Can they sue me if I don't pay the utilities? I can't prove that anyone actually lives there. And I only got a portion of rent from September. Oct. was due no later than the 7th.

Again, I have no money for lawyers fees for evictions or paper serving or what ever else they will charge for. I have no money to get anyone on the ground to see if there are any issues with the house or check up on it (management company). But, I do have confirmation from a lawyer that the person (con-tractor) is a felon and is widely known for conning people.  

What are my options here? Frickin sewer and water bill is 200 bucks!!!! WTF! 

Please help! 

Thank you,
