Tenant installed above-ground pool without permission.

Posted

Tenant installed an above-ground pool, which violates the lease. I pay for water and received an outrageous bill. I gave them a 90-days notice a month ago, before this happened.

As a side note, they also stopped paying rent - they are 5 adults (family) -they all have jobs and can't pay $1000 of rent. Given what's going on with the Covid-19, what do you suggest I do with respect to the pool?

Thank you in advance.

@Alexander Smith - Check the local regulations in your area, especially fencing that is required around pools. This may be a code violation issue. And this may be classified as a health hazard, which evictions under most eviction moratoriums are still allowed. And your insurance may not cover the pool. Document everything. And you may want to talk to a lawyer. That is from a legal prospective. 

On the paying the rent, you may want to point out to them the possible damage to ALL of their credit.
