the former owner had owned the place for about 5 years and never raised rent.I prevaled, section 8 paid the rent, the tenant paid their share, I raised the rent every year there after and the tenant stayed for 5 more years.The moral of the story is that you can only charge what rent the market will bear, and even though these rents were way too low, that's no reason to keep them there.On the other hand:I, myself have been guilty of not raising rents as aggressively as I should, the above story not with standing.

Ha, guilty, a fellow Sean Terry Junkie!

(I'm guilty at times myself, not usually at 100+ though!). 

I can look over our lease, but my thoughts are that until this person is found guilty, what grounds are we going to evict this person on?

@Tom Gimer guilty as charged!

My initial thoughts were that they're innocent until proven guilty, and they have NEVER made a late payment.

The one thing that I will plead from you is, if you have retained an attorney or are seeking legal representation, it is my fiduciary duty as a member of this site to suggest you avoid Michael Brennan and his law firm by all means.

Watching the Morris Invest train wreck is becoming a guilty pleasure. 

------------------------I called and tried to plead that this is ridiculous since I paid money for an inspection and I have tenants in place and not the time to deal with.

Management felt kind of guilty about it- so after much thawing, some burst pipes, floor replacement, etc., my whole bill was only $1500 or so, then some vacancy for a month or two in each unit.
