If they already have bad credit a threat of eviction really isn't going to motivate them any sooner to leave.If they are worried about the new place not having enough storage cover their U-Haul truck costs and 4 months of a storage unit or something.The key is as a landlord you have to be a problem solver.No legal advice.

I believe some realtors view investors as a threat to their business and therefore throw out these ridiculous "that's illegal" claims.

if not you should start your on thread, as you provided no help to Lee and basically just hijacked his threat., eitherway, first Lee, basically most true HML wont even look at your credit, so it doesnt matter.

You're blind folded with your hands cuffed behind you in a rattle snake den.I can tell you that anyone who sells under the threat of FC is not a happy camper 30 days later, there is resentment, they wonder if they got taken, their credit is already dinged, usually they are moving to a less desirable home and some want revenge even if it was all their fault.

Also, while there is the threat of a 1 time assessment (the association charging its residents a 1 time fee that will generally cover a large project) there is also the inevitable increase of HOA dues every couple of years.

My tenants called the police on them once for banging on their door and making threats and mentioning they have a firearm because of a very minor leak, and then they lied to the HOA that they called the police themselves.I don't know what my options are, as this is my first rental property.Should my tenants decide to bail and stop paying rent, would I be able to pursue them to maintain their obligations to our rental agreement?

Just the threat of a complaint will get this resolved..

I agree that there is probably not much threat of a look back, but loan app crimes are federal crimes.

Then you have bigger problems than figuring out what to do with excess cash flow-- huge financial headaches, the threat of foreclosure, tainting your credit,etc.

I am going to get a police report but I had to think quick and  I told the 80 year old if she feels a threat she is free to break the leasrcand leave!
