Demanding tenants refuse to pay
Bought a building and 4 of the 4 tenants refuse to pay rent. Oh and it's not just me, no gas is being delivered to any of them due to nonpayments and some have no electric for the same reason..one has electric in her 7 year old daughter's name. Well after the expense of buying and doing some minor repairs in the building, I've only filed eviction for 2 of the 4..other 2 will be filed this week. Since filing for eviction, things in the apartments are mysteriously "breaking". First the basement had an arrempted breakin, then plumbing backing up in one of the apartments, refrigerator not working in another apartment. Of course they are calling to have repairs made but noone mentions the missing months of rent payments. I'm wondering what am I liable to repair considering we have court dates coming up.
