The manager hurried over to the house the day I flew into Dallas and changed all the locks and put up a lockbox without informing the neighbor daughterWithout knowing the liability risk involved with entering the home, the neighbor daughter found out the keys she has no longer worked, but the tenant had paid for the entire month of August already so they are still in possession of the house, called the manager and told him if he doesn't give her the code, she's going to call the police and have them watch her break the lockbox off the door and then send him a lawyer's letter.The manager shouted at her and said the owner didn't want to have anything to do with them any more, that they don't need to do any cleaning any more and everything left in the house would be thrown away, so she can't enter the house any more.I happened to catch the daughter on the phone heading over to break the lockbox and found out about all of the above and told her to calm down and I am allowing her to enter the premise with the lockbox code.The daughter cleaned out all the trash and moved all left over furniture in the home and met me for the final walk through the next morning (should be the PM doing this).

I know that in the case of foreclosure, if the homeowner tears up the place, banks will file a police report for vandalism naming the property owners as possible suspects, and in turn will file a claim against the homeowners insurance for damages that do not result from normal wear and tear.

Property managers are not property police.

I'm giving them a chance to police their own.

The police actually took a report about that?

@Alexis MonroeThe police most likely will not assist you since this is just a civil problem.

I wrote a letter to all the neighbors that if they see suspicious people in the complex to call the police, as sort of a warning to him that the neighbors are watching.

Also  - when did the word police here at BP decide that we have to star out the word "a s s"? 

I hear stories of police officers and school teachers no longer able to live in these high-priced urban areas.Cities are grappling with how to deal with the homeless (Google "homeless bussing").

Here we would be talking to the police and taking them to the court.
