., in florida now, you have an unlawful detainer action and there is still a due process, attorney is needed and there is no throwing someone out on your own, that is not going to happen or you'd lose alot more than you lost now. we buy properties like this and pay for the attorney.  

Former realtor.com® President Errol Samuelson and former Move Executive Vice President of Industry Development Curt Beardsley engaged in deceptive and unlawful conduct by passing highly sensitive information to Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff and others in the run-up to their March 2014 departures from Move, the suit alleges.

Mine started as a lease with option to purchase on an SFR, but was trimmed when we acquired a MFU with goal to buy and hold.The lease is 6-pages and it's been defended twice, once small claims and again unlawful detainer. 

I know there is no statute in Georgia but this was unlawful repair and deduct and I wasn't going to pay for it.

Why should they get punished because of the ones that aren't?

I personally abide by the philosophy that you should incentivize people to do what you want them to, rather than punishing them for doing something you don't want them to do.

This makes my decision very simple when combined with my desire to see those I consider to be criminal in nature to face the music.To ignore the fact that their actions are, in my opinion, criminal does not allow me to turn a blind eye regardless of the time or cost associated with me taking action to "punish".I know very few landlords are willing to take the moral high ground in dealing with reprehensible bad tenant behaviour but I am one.

It's the fact that government agencies are typical in purposefully leaving their guidelines open to interpretation even when it becomes law, so such agency can "legislate enforcement and subsequent punishment from the bench", a very precarious position indeed.

I maybe a glutton for punishment, but I'm determined to make this work without any mortgages.

For instance, Seattle is aggressively tenant oriented and it is unlawful to turn down the first tenant who can show they can make the payments.
