I don't mean to hijack the thread in anyway, but this quote leads me into my opening question...If I bought a rental house and I unknowingly rented it to some dope-heads, and the cops were called in by the neighbors to take care of these dope-head renters, is it possible for the police to seize the property and I lose it???

There's probably only a 10% chance that you will be on an all new edition of "Cops" when the ex drives by at midnite and sees her girlfriends car parked out front and proceeds to remove the screen door and then you get the police call because she claims, rightly so, that she is on the lease and is not a trespasser.

We have the city inspecting the house this week and they will post a non nuisance notices only after which we can get assistance from local police to get access to the house. 

If he did not leave I would call the police and let him know I'm calling the police even if its not illegal still have it on record.

Police are not experts on Landlord-Tenant law.

Police station is 1 mile away.  

You could also get the police involved as what he's doing (trying to collect rent from a unit he doesn't own/manage) is illegal.

That might be your opportunity for a new lease if he accepts.I think the police path might be the better course.

If the tenant feels threatened by a roommate, they should work it out like adults or report it to the police.

He is a police officerHis father is a retired public defender (attorney)I have given him a massive discount all along - $770 was the original rent and it was only at $880 by the end for a 3/1 inside the perimeter!
