We have threatened to call Department of human services on the conditions they had their children in.

If you do not want to let ComEd off the hook that easy, then continue to threaten them with the "reporting them to the citizens utility board or any other utility watch dog organizations."

Sounds like she's ********-savvy.And you've now set a precedent that anytime a tenant threatens legal action, you'll roll over.

Adding that kind of verbiage to a rental agreement could be a real turn off for most renters, as it would threaten their security.

I've learned that even though @Cameron Norfleet was asking a question without stating his opinion, someone can threaten to publish it against his firm... and lastly, I've learned that even if a landlord hasn't discriminated, his ignorance can still be shown.

Threatening evictions is not consonant with that philosophy.We had a major disagreement about a tenant who was late in the first few months of their tenancy.

Landlords are doing this, but the first savvy tenant they get that sues them over it - will win.This happened to my daughter - PM she hired charged pet fees, tenant threatened to sue my daughter over the fees (yes, she fired the PM) after consulting with the lawyer she worked for, and my daughter had to reimburse them.Get the book. 

if there is a domestic violence issue with them ( u feel threatened) it might help in some way getting them out. document all your stress and aggravation and of course incidents. be safe! 

T has recently threatened violence on the family and they may be able to obtain a restraining order

She threatened to sue if they didn't just terminate.
