Whether it’s the proper legal route or unconventional methods, I’m open to any suggestions to help me get rid of these tenants sooner.Thank you in advance.I completely understand your frustration—situations like these can be incredibly challenging, both financially and emotionally.

What is your preferred method of contact and when is a good time?
