Need Urgent Help - Tenant water abuse

Jason Thomas
  • Tampa, FL
Posted

Hello fellow BP members, I am in need of some urgent assistance and advice regarding a 5 unit complex I own that has one water meter that I pay. One of the tenants seems to be upset at the world and now causing numerous issues. Aside from yelling obscenities at the other tenants and having her dog defecate everywhere, she is now running her shower and faucets all day long and through the night. I know this because the other tenants have told me they hear the water running through the walls. There is no separate water valve to her unit that we can shut off or control. We even see the main water meter reading exponentially high on a daily basis. We can start the eviction process but by the time she is evicted (months) the water bill will be massive. Any help or guidance would be extremely appreciated. Can we call the authorities regarding something like this...property damage? Thank you!!
