It's never a good idea to get cute with the government with unlimited resources to make your life miserable. 

Other than just not doing business with them anymore, and telling all my friends, is there anything else I can do to make their lives as miserable as they’ve made mine?

Either way, putting yourself into a situation where you have to evict a tenant from the get go, that sounds miserable. 

Because there is “long-term” Tenant, you can’t really fix everything up front and these miserable “cash flow” will be eaten with first major repair.This is not a cash flow investment - location is questionable, House is delapidated, $400/mo rent shows the quality of Tenant - I’ve been renting 2bed apartment 13 years ago for $530 - in much better part of Sandusky and still not the best place to live. $400 house will need all the repairs as a normal rental, only you’ll pay for that out of your pocket.What the point of the investment?

You would think that with such a large down payment he would be on Easy Street, but because he knew nothing about maintenance nor management he failed miserably and sold the building.The 2nd person to purchase the building was a professional investor with properties all over the city.

I get that some landlords are dirt bags, but man... this article makes it look like landlords are these mob sharks that sit around rolling in cash while making the lives of their tenants miserable in horrible conditions. 

He's not trying to make your life miserable, he's actually trying to help you out. 

@Matthieu Miser would ever came from this, anything you can share?

Pay someone to do it for you- it’s miserable work.

Horrible tenants will make your life miserable.
