How NOT to Evict Tenants

[Bill Gulley]

This should be fun.

Just read a question asking if the LL could turn off the utilities.....hmmm :)

Well, no.

I recall a public housing director in a small town who told a tenant that the front door had to be repaired and kept the door in the shopfor a few days while the So the tenant left, a couple guys set the stuff on the curb and changed the locks. Totally illegal but common here.

I don't advocate acting illegally, you all know that, but a judge told me a long time ago "sometimes you gotta get stuff done on your own toughness", meaning take care of it and don't come to court.

Many tenants make too much for leagl aid yet don't have money for a paid attorney. They usually want money up front as the LL will usually get a slap on the wrist and no big money in it for the attorney.

So, what have you heard that done to convince a tenant to take a hike without causing a problem?

What have you heard that was done by a sneaky landlord?
