If he's a hoarder, maybe get a family member's phone number and get him in touch with some psychiatric help.

From their report, she's never been on any psychiatric meds, but I believe there is definitely a need for them.

Hey Bill,On behalf of the other folks on the BP forums, thank you for sharing this.Prior to going into RE full-time I worked in a psychiatric ward of a NYC hospital for 8 years so mental health is super important to me.

If you want to say you have tried everything to get a hold of this tenant before starting an eviction, you can contact the psychiatric hospital in your area and request to speak to a social worker or chaplain.  

(Police had trashed his apartment and checked him into a Psychiatric unit for Observation, when other Tenants complained he was a sex offender and had been stalking their children)

Then, she presented a letter from an EZ clinic in San Francisco stating that she has psychiatric disability and needs 2 dogs to feel better.

In our seven-plex, I inherited a tenant, a young mother, who rent was paid by a local hospital system's psychiatric clinic.

@Steve Babiak I think you're referring to: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/88268-what-should-i-include-in-my-lease The link included on housekeeping was no longer good, but it appears to now be here:http://www.wfha.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/housekeeping_policy.pdfSo Hoarders are considered a "disease" and is being recognized by the American Psychiatric Association so it's now a protected class?

The letter stating the need for emotional support, by law requires that it shows a diagnosis of a mental or emotional disability recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and that they are currently a patient, and it has to be from a Licensed Mental Health Professional, such as a clinical psychologist, licensed professional counselor, mental health counselor, psychiatrist or a licensed psychiatric, or mental health nurse practitioner, with verifiable credentials, licensed to practice in the state of residence (proof including date, type and state of license).2.

"Notes" Well she must have had this "thing against someone trying to do better than her" and she made my life miserable...making me work odd rotational hoursI As a mental health counselor you can not defocus from your psychiatric patients...and reports always needed to be in on time.I experienced a "rush" sort off; I do not know if you can identify with this addiction; yes i would then go for free to all these events and there would be featured speakers; What i did observe was people rushing to the back of the room to "buy packages."
