Not charity. 

Pretend a friend of yours just asked you if this was a good idea, and what would your own advice be to them.This would include asking them if they were running a charity or a business for profit, for instance.

You are not a charity. 

It is not a charity. 

Similar to other personal property, the landlord is responsible for it.No tow company or charity will take it without a title.

perhaps you like charity work. buy a big pot and create a soup kitchen.if tenants unexpectedly decide to pay rent, save that for more giant pots.

You have to start the eviction process because you are running a business, not a charity, but you don't have to charge the full $50/day (which by the way is almost certainly illegal, regardless of what the rental agreement says) and I would probably offer some grace being that you're the brand new landlord.My 2 cents!

This is not social work or some kind of charity, at least not this particular part.

Some charities and resources don't kick in unless you've been served with a notice to be evicted.
