After his threats bordered infringing on my personal safety, I searched public court records and found that he has declared bankruptcy twice (this building was rented when I purchased it and the tenants came with it, with very little record of what dd was run on them) and the tenant constantly threatens to withhold rent for minuscule inconveniences. 

Gordon being cyber basis, redevelopment plans of the city and more.I'll return the question - as someone that lives in Augusta, I'd like to hear your view.

From the comments it looks like wasn't clear with my question ...I know I can file for eviction and I know I can fix the wondow...the point is A TENANT SHOULD NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES THREAT WITH RENT....

What your other tenants think is very important. 2) The type of person that has pit bulls has a TENDENCY to be more violent and fearful, they often use the petas a threat or weapon.

I'd say roof and ac might be the biggest threats.

The threat of eviction and possibly being cut off of S8 will get you paid.You need to stop caring about your tenants problems.Additionally once you get your $700 do not renew this tenants lease.

Insurance will cover instances where a tenant has an injury on the particular subject property(internal threat), but if the owner gets sued from other properties(external threat) or from something unrelated to Real Estate(personal litigation/business lawsuit), the rental properties under his/her name can all be foreclosed to pay for damages.  

Some good advice and some terrible advice.The vast majority of attorney threats are just that...

The key is going to pursue action through TREC and hopefully bring at least the threat of criminal action. 

Augusta is a smaller town but it’s growing due to the military, medical schools, construction and a cyber security center.
