Non-Paying Tenant complaints

Carol Hensal
  • Orlando, FL
Posted

One of my tenants have not paid in months and I'm trying to get her evicted (Thanks CDC!).   She's now complaining that some of her lights aren't working which is likely a breaker issue.     Since this isn't a life threatening issue, I feel like I can drag my feet on this a bit since the property is about an hour away.  Is this appropriate given she owes several months in back rent?

@Carol Hensal if it isn’t life threatening or sanitary, habitability etc... I would place it on hold.
What bulbs are out? Are they outside lights, then you should replace, anything that could be construed as “I fell because the lights didn’t work”
