First I would like to warn you that this is not a legal document so don’t go doing what I did. I just had to get my own way on how to get rid of tenants. I had to. They were just not paying my rent and I wasn’t getting much love from the court. I really did not have the time or the resources to continue paying for my mortgage life insurance as some slackers lived in my home.
Before I could get rid of my tenants, I had to figure out why I was in such a situation in the first place. I will not go too deeply into it as everyone seems to understand the meaning of the words “mortgage bubble”. So here I was stuck with an investment mortgage to pay and some guy refusing to pay my rent. That “rich dad, poor dad” book did not mention this happening.
My tenant on the other hand was a nice guy. Nice guy to his friends anyway as they always had a party on weekends. Since I was living in the lower level apartment, I got to know a lot of Limpkin Park music. Their music is good but they should write a song on how to pay for your rent before your landlord learns how to get rid of tenants. I would buy it.
Since I knew he loved his music and parties, the first thing I did was start holding parties of my own. Trust me, young people hate our music and friends more than we hate theirs. I made sure that my friends came earlier. After all what else were they doing and we took over the parking lot. We would then belch out some serious Earth Wind and Fire and Janis Jouplin.
Next since the fellow loved waking up late, I somehow had to do some major repairs in the house or another. I would have the contractor in the apartments at 8am really banging on some roofs. Mind you, I was killing two birds with one stone. I was doing court ordered repairs and making some serious noise to the fellow.
I then became very nice to his girlfriend. I became her spy in the neighbourhood. It is true, men don’t like being spied on. Those late night trysts became a thing of the past. When he found me with his mother in law sipping on some cool aid, I guess he figured that it was time to leave.
Due to legal reasons, I will not go into more stuff that I did. The truth is, I did everything I could to make his life miserable. In the end I learned that the best way to learn how to get rid of tenants is to learn what he likes or dislikes. Then make him miserable. People do not live in places they do not enjoy.
