Some people have a harder time dealing with confrontations.

It’s only been 2 months.I can’t figure out what is motivating the guy to behave in this manner.He’s started avoiding me (which is fine, because I’m anti-confrontational and I'm quite angry right now), but I think we probably need to sit down and have a chat to get this to stop.The property code inspector actually recommended that I seek out a mediator to help deal with the guy because he's been repeatedly calling him about the violations.Would you cut bait and run?

That being said, if you're really that concerned and don't feel like having a confrontation you could always let him fill out an application and then deny him.

Whether it's kids or tenants, so much confrontation can be avoided and resolved by directing emotion from a person to a piece of paper with rules, rather than the rule maker.

I would say make sure you aren't confrontational and use the court systems.

There are no principles on the agenda, no morals to worry about, and it has nothing to do with fear of confrontation.

The final stage of the Eviction Process means removing the tenant physically from the premises and this is truly a very sad and dangerous time.From the moment you turn that Notice to Quit over to the court house and file the Summons and Complaint, you NEVER EVER want to enter the rental unit or confront the tenant verbally or physically.The only way I communicate with my Tenant from this point forward (if I have to at all) is in writing!

And even if they do get some militant activist to confront you, you can always just come right back at them with the rules. 

I confronted the tenant and she was insulted and said she did not have a dog living with. 

When confronted, she stated that the dog was a service dog for her disabled son.
