Just curious...
We have a home that was owned by my MIL, who moved down to our neighborhood. We never had a chance to sell her home before the recession (plus my MIL turned down two decent offers, razzle-frazzle). So we rented the house to tenants for two years.
The tenants were fine, very few calls for repairs, paid pretty much on time, etc. But when our taxes were raised significantly we started bleeding money and determined we had to not renew the tenants' lease and sell the house asap.
So we gave them 60 days to leave, and they did so, July 31. What we didn't know was that they were running a boarding house, subletting every habitable space in the house--even the unheated enclosed front porch--to people on social services.
All the legal tenants, and their sublessors all left except one. On August 1, my husband got a call from a girl who said that she didn't know she had to leave, that she had a place as of Sept 1, could she stay until then.
Being the good-hearted suckers my husband and I can be, we told her to send whatever rent she had been previously paying (now she would have run of the whole 4 bedroom house for $400), but she had to be out by Sept 1.
Well, you know what's coming. Now she's saying her new place won't be ready until November 1. Meanwhile, my DH and my BIL are headed up north on Friday (tomorrow) for full court press on readying the house for sale--locks changed, cleaners coming, junk carted away, etc. etc. In addition, we've gotten calls from the next door neighbor recently saying there's a lot of "activity" going on--cars pulling in and out at all hours, and we know that she did or does have a drug problem
The girl (who we are now officially calling a squatter), will not leave. She's told us she doesn't have to, that she doesn't want to lose her stuff, she has nowhere to go, etc. etc.
So NOW, on top of all the chores my DH has tomorrow, he has to figure out how to get her out! She hung up on him stating that she has no intention to be out tomorrow.
Anyone have any similar experience? Does my AH call the real estate lawyer we have? Or the police?
