People have already provided great input, so I will touch on your comment your wife said.You really need to sit down with her and explain the short term and long term goals.

The protections are there because beat cops are not qualified to determine who is a tenant and who is a criminal.Just as LL should not provide keys without rent, security deposit, credit check, etc, tenant should not pay a dime without a lease agreement that gives them certain rights.  

Hire an attorney to provide the required notices about his serious breaches of the lease agreement and file the eviction case.

A fairly common way that self-managing landlords handle this is to create a company that provides services to your properties.

Make them attend 3-5 12 step meetings a week and have them provide documentation similar to the courts.5.

Provide any documentation or pictures you have as evidence.

I found myself attending in-person networking almost weekly prior to the pandemic, but we live in a different world, and the digital shift has made it harder.Currently looking for personal investment deals in the area, and also passionate about connecting other local investors with trusted service providers.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

If you list hard and fast terms, your sneakier people will conveniently leave some of their animals off the application.
