Thank you everyone.  A lot of good answers here. Fortunately, they ended up leaving after they figured I found out about the pool. They never told me they were leaving. I found out when my property manager saw all windows, garage and doors open. They still owe me rent and the brand new smoke detectors I installed. I'm planning to send them to small claims for that. This is my first investment property, I guess I'm paying my tuition to learn how to deal with these types of individuals.

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.
