Hey Kirk! So I was at my unit today and the neighbor told me that the police knocked on her door a few days ago because they had knocked on the door to my building and no one answered. The police told her that they were trying to see if there was an illegal daycare being run out of there. They were asking hey a bunch of questions. She told them that she'd never seen any kids there. Personally, I've never seen any kids there either. However, my tenant did tell me that she has a daycare and she has the place decorated as one. I figured it was a home daycare and wasn't a big deal so never thought twice about it. What do I do?
I don't know truthfully.
Some ideas:
anonymously call government & ask some questions. although, i just called court house & government employee told gave me wrong information.
pony up for an attorney
ignore it.
Work on evicting her
I probably would ignore as long as she paid me rent. (although I'd make sure my insurance was paid up). Others will most likely say evict her for sure because you have a liability. to me this depends on your risk tolerance & how proactive you want to be.
If the police are researching, my 1st thought is hopefully they'll crack down on her, but I'm not sure if you have any ownership of tge problem. If you can figure out who is investigating, an anonymous call to them might be worth a try.
After more thought, I'd address it. mainly cause of the Covid risk. What happens if one of the kids gets Covid in your unit? What happens if one of the kids transmits it to a high risk person.
To cover my backside I'd probably have an attorney send a warning letter. So I'd probably pony up for an attorney. Money & stress no fun.
