I got the court paperwork today and it states that she filed a motion to rescind the writ of possession. I’m hoping that all they want is more time to move things out. They have had ample time to move things out. My boyfriend has been available everyday and I have been available almost everyday. I’m not sure what sort of money they think they will get from me since they were behind on rent and never told me about a water pipe leaking for who knows how long. We have another tenant that is eager to move in and we are lucky he is willing to wait until after the hearing since we can’t touch their things and cannot even show the house.

I realize now I never should have rented to them. I will never fall for it again. They know the system and they don’t want to go down without a fight. I want to clean their things out this weekend. Since it’s after the seven days they had to move out is that okay? We found out about the hearing from a friend down at townhall so we didn’t get any paper notice yet.

I am being brought to court by my tenants that I just evicted. I followed the law and gave them demand for rent, then filed for eviction which I won August 2. I then gave them a contract to keep them on as long as they adhere to it. They only did one of the six items on the contract. While I still was able to file for writ of possession I filed it October 27. They were served last Friday and then had seven days to get their belongings after the locks were changed by the sherif. Yesterday they filed a motion and now the hearing is next Thursday. I have no idea what I did wrong and what they think they could win from the hearing. I am going to consult a lawyer but does anyone know of anything they could get by me that I don’t realize? I don’t want the judge to allow them to move back in.

How could I get rid of the tenants? I’m not sure if the owner knows who is bringing the bed bugs in but we have a hunch.

I have been given the opportunity to lease a business for x amount of time with option to buy. It is an eight unit. The problem is that it has a history of bed bugs. They were found in June 2017. They were treated for where the bugs had been present either alive or had evidence that they inhabited the apartment. They were heat treated and now four months later they are found in a different apartment above which was treated. The landlord is going to treat it again but I have heard bed bugs are awful to get rid of which is making me nervous about agreeing to take over. Do you have any advice as what I should do or run away from the deal? The first few years is where I will be making less of a profit to begin with because of making some basic repairs.

I would keep these properties and move and invest elsewhere.

The FHA is a duplex so I have an income from that part of the property. I was wanting to get another single family to fix up. I just wanted to know how long it would take for the income to count for the qualifying of the loan.

I have two properties here in New Hampshire but I was thinking of relocating. Does anyone know a good place to go for a buy and hold property?

I closed on an FHA owner occupied home in October. I started making income off it instantly and just started income on my other house which is paid for free and clear. How long do I have to wait to apply for another loan for both these incomes to be figured in?

I was wondering if there was someone in my area who has had good luck with getting accurate records for evictions and criminal records. I wanted to add it to my application process to get the best possible tenants.  Is there a reliable source I can use online?
