SECTION 8 TENANT Want to Evict

Rob Dorney
Posted

I have been dealing with a low life POS tenant for 2 years. I have to chase her down for her 100 bucks of the 1300 a month rent. She smokes POT and cigarettes in a non smoking building. Her daughter has overdosed twice in the apartment.  I gave her 60 day notice that I was not renewing lease. She needs to be out by Jan 30. She told me she needs her last months to move as she has no money. Do I do the court thing, waste my time and money only to have a judge keep her there as she can't find a place? I asked her leave a year ago and she could not find a place.  I do get paid 1200 of the 1300 a month on the 1st. The entire building are great, clean people besides her. I am afraid I will lose good tenants because of her. What would yo do?

@Scott Mac:

Thinking like this is very short sighted. It's likely that the taxpayers also paid for her illegal drugs.
