Now almost 4 months since we first asked him to leave he has given us possession of the property but still hasn't removed his garbage from the premises.

For interior, minor maintenance items, do you let it go or do until tenant turnover or do you knock it out as soon as you take possession?

The listing agent informed me that the bank has taken possession of the property within the last week.The NOI is approximately $30K; includes a lease of one bay to an emmissions facility.

@Todd McLochlinNot to hijack the thread but how do you deal with the possession issue in GA where you get a redeemable ownership interest but no right of possession until the redemption period is over?

There is literally no limit to the things you can learn here if you spend the time and possess the initiative!

The only alternative to that would be to change the contract to ensure that you wouldn't take possession until they are out.

I would assume some sort of legal process is also required to gain possession back on the property ?

I would recommend any job or business for that matter that pays well and responsibly save your money and build your credit until you possess the means to purchase.

Now, if for some reason the tenant refused to move out, then at that point you may need to file an eviction (unlawful detainer) to remove them and recover possession of the property.

The lease agreement must allow for termination for the specific breach alleged.24-Hour NoticeMichigan law allows a landlord to give 24-Hour Notice if a formal police report is filed alleging that the tenant has unlawfully manufactured, delivered, possessed with intent to sell or possessed a controlled substance on the premises.
