Tenant thrashing the property

[Sam Abe]

How can I save myself. I have a duplex and the back house tenants have started to thrash the property by putting tons of garbage outside the house and making unbelievable. I have pics the front house sent and it’s scary. Looks like they have a homeless camping trailing and lots of trash every where.

Can I report them to city or so? I know they even do drugs. This all started because they have allowed some unauthorized relatives to move in with them.

We have heavy infestation problem too.

Please advise them that they have violated the lease and they have five days to "cure" the situation or they will be evicted.  The moratorium applies only to non-payment of rent; any other lease violations are not included.  

If you call the city, you could be the one with the citation as the owner of the property.  This is on you to cure.  Give them notice to clean it up, keep it clean, and get out.  If they're doing drugs and other illegal activity, call the non-emergency police number and report them for all that plus the dumping.  

Save yourself by managing to the lease. Until you do, they're in control.
