Joel Davenport Tenant with no furniture
20 June 2015 | 14 replies
If not, schedule a maintenance inspection, see if anything else looks like it might need attention, and try to get a read on what is really going on there.We did have one tenant who only had sleeping bags, this was their work location rather than home base; it does happen.

Rochelle Wilkinson tenant says he is going to call the police on me at 6 PM friday night
11 August 2015 | 70 replies
hi. i am a landlord but i do not manage a 60 unit building. i agree with everyone, get a property management company to run things for you. i do a lot of work for a property management company here in the buffalo, ny area as a handyman. quite often, we handymen know of better and faster ways to get the parts you need than doing it on your own. that being said, a/c units have to have a licensed professional work on them anyway, but knowing how to get the parts faster is always a good thing. as far as the tenant threatening the police, lol, they won't even get involved. they have better things to do than worry about some joker sweating a little bit. you dropped off a fan, the tenant refuses to open the windows, which is on him, so he, himself is causing himself and his family more harm than you are. if he is worried about the high crime issue being on the second floor, lol, criminals work as little as they can. they sure as hell are not gonna scale the side of a building like spiderman just to rob this guys place of residence; unless he has a bag of money or gold stashed in the place, in which case he probably wouldn't have been late with the rent 6 times. my advice, continue down the path you are on. hire a property management company, boot this dumbass out the door when his lease expires and let him become someone elses problem. good luck
