Drug addict/Convicted Felon in unit...Hummm

[Chris Da]

Hello all, has been a long time...Anyway, need some advice about a situation I had tonight in PA.

About 4 months ago I agree to rent a unit to a girl who I was told, had an alcohol problem in the past, but has been clean for over a year and needed a break...Her social worker told me that she has SS income which her parents control, and they do send the rent every month.. Anyway...Being a nice guy, I rented to her, and so far I always get paid, and the place for the most part is fairly clean..
Lately there have been some odd characters there visiting her ect. The downstairs tenant has reported this to me, and I have confronted the new girl and let her know that I won't stand for any bad behavior.

Well, tonight I find out that she "relapsed" , and she has been in a re-hab for the last week. The reason I found this out that is the downstairs tenant informed me that the police and ambulance were just there to take away the BOY FRIEND.

When I got there, I missed all the excitement, but I went in the apartment to find 2 girls (really strung out types) and I told them to GET OUT NOW. (I am being nice in my post.) I go through the apartment and I find only a few needles on the night stand along with the BOY Friends wallet. In his wallet I find an ID, and guess what...His address is listed as MY Apartmnent! I find mail in his name addressed to MY Apartment. She let this junky move in. Then I look around more and find piles of court papers. Guy just got out of Prison for Armed Robbery, Assult withg a deadly weapon, and a strew of other charges. There were even pictures of the differewnt guns he used in these crimes. WONDERFUL.

Anyway, I go to the police department, and they basically told me to evict my new tenant. That she let him live there, and that is just how it is. They let him go free, as all they did is respond to a 911 call for an "unresponsive person". He was given CPR, and is in the hospital now recovering. The blood work isn't back yet, so they can't prove why he was in the condition that he was, and that even whern the blood work comes back, it will takes weeks for his parole officer to even find out.

Bottom line is, I can't even lock this guy out. What I did do was see to it that I cleaned the apartment carpet with 3 gallons of amonia. Very quickly doused the entire place as I want to make sure all the germs from the blood ect is safe.
(Big Smile) and I did go out of my way to post on the door that "Do to an emergency, irritating chemicals had to be used to clean blood from floors. " You can't enter that place for more than 5 seconds and you are right back out the door.

But other than what I told you guys, what else do you do with this situation? I know the easy answer is evict, been there done that, but I don't need a bunch of gun slinging heroin addicts (who by the way don't mind shooting thier guns.) living in my building until an eviction is final. I have delt with jerk tenants before, and did my yelling and screaming, but sometimes you have to pick your battles, and death is not worth a rent check. Any input??
