Tentants keeping landlord out
HELP!! We have been having on-going major problems with out tentants. Here is the latest.
We served them with a 3 day notice to leave the premises on July 3rd, for non payment of rent. On that same date we issued 24 notice to inspect the premises. So, the next day we show up, our tenants are not there but her parents are there. (We seem to continually run in to the problem of them wanting to have each of their parents handle there problems, but they are not on the lease.) So, my husband goes in, takes some pictures and goes outside takes some more pictures and then goes back up to the door to make sure our key works, the mother won't let him try it, we call the cops and they admit admit that our tenants changed the locks. So, we have been watching the house to see if they have left and so last night we go to issue another 24 notice to them and come to find huge heavy truck marks in the lawn and it appears they have left. So, we try to enter the house and we are locked out. So, we give up, come home and a little bit later the police call and say are tenants came to the house and the neighbor told them we tried to break in and so on. So, we go back to the house, (again have the problem with the mother of one of the tenants running her mouth) give them 24 hour notice and the female tenant says DO NOT BRING YOUR CAMERA, YOU ARE NOT TAKING ANYMORE PICTURES, YOU HAVE ALREADY TAKEN ENOUGH. IF YOU BRING YOUR CAMERA, WE WILL NOT LET YOU IN. So, what will happen? Don't they have to let us in and don't we have the right to take pictures?? This is so ridiculous! HELP!
24 hour notice to inspect
Ok, so the drama continues. We served a 24 notice to inspect and so the walk through was last night. Because of all the problems, we had a police escort. When he got there we asked him to have everyone leave the house that was not on the lease. Well 10 minutes later he comes back outside and says, they said no. (which meant all of their parents and friends were in the house, small house by the way) His mother took pictures of our car, pictures of us, the entire time we were there. She would even stand a foot from our face and take them. He followed us around the entire time with a camcorder. Meanwhile they all talked bad about us and were trying to intimidate us. It was horrible even though we haven't done anything wrong. Then my husband asked where the shower doors were, and the guy says they are in storage, they will be put back in and my husband made a comment about making sure they were in the house (the other night when we were there, they were laying in the back yard) so then, they say oh OK, we'll just make sure they are in the house, oh good we have that camera, we don't have to get them installed. That is not at all what we said, we don't want them laying outside. So, I say no, they have to be where you found them when you moved in, read your lease. What do you do with people like this?? They are pretty much, actually almost 100% out of the house they just still are in the process of painting the living room (because they painted it blood red with exterior paint) They are just unbelievable.
