@Jon Holdman i just don't see why what i would do would be seen as an evection legal or not because they were friends who had a prior relationship with... and as she said earlier the lease is practically lost and there not trying to squat there just lazy.... so as a friendly friend i am if i have family coming in and i need my buddy out and i gave them notice but they are slackers.... i helped my buddy out and paid for 2 nights  at the inn and helped them pack up so they have 2 full days to look at open apartments and pick a place to move into... the idea being that once they realize they need to check out by noon on the 3rd day I'm sure they will pick a place and do what they need to do... and if they can't they should have thought about it before they packed up and went to the motel temporarily to find a new place... and if they come back ill say hey i got a family I'm hosting so go down to the shelter or the church or wherever they want just not my place....

The Whippet is quiet as a church mouse in this rare case. 

Mentors, community leaders, churches and outreach programs are all good resources. 

We were all church friends and the house was occupied for over 7 years.

I went to youth camp last year with my church.

We have tospend time sending the file to and paying the attorney's, manage the tenant and the property in the meantime to protect the asset while they are still in the housedeal with whatever  measures they take to prevent the eviction, (legal, pleadings from family or church members)liase with the sherriff's officechange the locks and deal with anything left behindclean the property and pay for trash removalspend $$$'s to upgradere-certify for leaddo multiple showings and vettings to refill the vacancy and maybe upgrade equipment in the house if necessary to secure the right tenantdeal with the uncertainty of not knowing when the vacancy will be filled or how the new tenant will performdeal with the utility companies and the city for any licensing issuestransition the new tenant until they are settled and familiar with how everything works.By contrast managing a habitually late tenant is childs play.  

She tried to make it my problem, but I knew she had lots of relatives and was involved in her church with a pastor who came to visit her.  

Saying it is a church group may make that difficult though if there isn't a vehicle burden corresponding to the number of people. 

@Dean Klein,please go to the nearest police station and if they like to talk, check what security firm has best relation with them and the activity in the area surrounding your target block.i think ADT will lock you into a 3 years contract, but they are a few other alternatives, wireless based, which you can move/install yourself. sorry my mind is gone today so no link/name.go to the local church on Sunday or check with the most involved neighbor on the block.maybe they are initiatives on the way like installing a city/semi-private camera  or neighborhood watch committee.maybe check with local police/firestation, maybe a recent rookie/hire needs a place.but on the lines of what @Al Williamson, said you are not a slumlord,you are offering nice affordable housing in a working neighborhood. so show that you belong there, be respectful, and walk with no fear and with a purpose.

She will not answer our phone calls now and only response is by text like "I am Okay" or " I am in church can't talk" , " Talk to daughter " etc .
