They applied, were background/credit/criminal checked, and passed my requirements.

And that’s not a comment on demand, it’s a comment on price so don’t take offence please.

If the judge did not immediately solve the issue I would be seeking writ of mandamus against the judge and the clerk.I would be trying to have criminal charges filed.Now... on the other hand, if the person came to me during the redemption period and said they wanted to redeem the property, I would work with them. 

Many states prohibit taking title to a property in exchange for "helping them out", with both civil and criminal penalties.

The credit check is pretty generic but does give you a score and it has found criminal and eviction records for me in the past. 

@Jacky Johnson I'd ask to see design of fence.

Do you agree to a criminal and/or credit check? 

Anyone here on Bigger Pockets, or elsewhere, telling you it's not, is either an idiot or a criminal.

I am a LL with a large portfolio of Detroit SFR rentals.It is not a Civil issue anymore it becomes Criminal intent on your part.I can go in-depth on the various scenarios (with experiences picked up over the last 7 years investing on Detroit) but would not wish to as it is a different topic on it's own right.Hence, Sorry but just take this experience on the chin and go through this eviction like a Landlord would do.For the next tenant, follow a regimented Screening process: 1) Check the 36th District court for past evictions & money jugements (LT issue and GC issues), if it is under 3 years avoid the drama and move to the next applicant.2) Previous Landlord verification - call and speak to them (run the Landlords name if you have MLS access against the ownership records)3) Employment History and Stability - 3 times rental income atleast. 4 times if it is under household share.4) Credit Score - a Good indicator but take it subjectively as a Low Credit score is not an automatic refusal.
