Question about renting

[nickmdet]

I have a family acquaintance that is renting her house. The contract ends this month and texted the renters that the house is no longer for rent after January. The renters are behind on rent plus late fees, did not get insurance as stated in the contract, and are not really acting like they are going to be out. What are her options? Thanks in advance

You go to the county Sheriff. They are the ones that enforce tenant/landlord law. You will need the contract and in some states they require a judge to sign a notice of eviction.

Plus-Keep records of all past due amounts and accruals, do not return the deposit, take pictures once they leave the house of what it looked like when they left, and take good notes. If you have to have the house cleaned, garbage disposed of, repairs made, keep all receipts and log hours that it took to do so. Once they are out and all that is done then the next step (in PA) would be to go to the local magistrate and file a civil suit. Keep receipts of all costs to file. Once you get your judgement go straight to the courthouse and file a lein. Most times here in PA once you get a judgement they still don't pay. I had a tenant that I went thru this with and when the lein is documented it means they can't apply for any loans etc until the lein is satisfied. Took me 7 years but low and behold when he wanted to buy a house he came up with everything he owed me. We met at the courthouse and he paid me in a cashiers check, the notary documented it and cleared the lein.

Good luck to your friend it can be a long drawn out stressful process sometimes.

Sounds like 3 more months of unpaid rent coming up and probably around 15K in house damages.

I had rentals with the "ex", and was never so happy to get out from under that shit. She now has about a dozen rentals, and at any given time she is chasing 3 or 4 of these deadbeats around.

She sues them all in small claims court and gets money from about 1 in 5.


Good luck man.

Sounds about right......

Nick: They need to know the law for the state of Michigan and follow it. This is different from state to state. The eviction process is one that needs to be followed step by step or you fuck yourself in court.
