Tenant no-show
Posted by: ronnie  massachusetts 15 Days Ago State: Michigan
I have a seasonal rental. I had a tenant sign a six month lease back in January for the summer season - May thru October. She gave me 1st and last months rent and sec. deposit. The lease is for 6 months starting yesterday (5/1). I have tried e-mailing the tenant (5 times over the past two weeks) to arrange giving her keys, etc. but she has not replied. I have called her phone numbers - her home phone has been disconnected and I just get a generic voice mail at her work number with no return calls. Any suggestions on where I should go from here? If she doesn't show up, she's out what she has paid me, plus I'm guessing I can take her to small claims for the remainder. I guess I need to see if she shows up between now and the time her next rent payment is due on 6/1, and if I haven't heard from her by then, start eviction procedures? Because this is a seasonal rental in a resort area, by the time she would be officially evicted, there would be virtually no chance in re-renting. Any suggestions? Hopefully she'll surface soon.

Tenant passed away
Posted by: George  Kirkland WA 165 Days Ago State: Washington
Our Tenant passed away 2 weeks ago of lung cancer and had not paid rent since September. We have given him eviction notices but did not file with the county. The most recent document was Demand for Compliance or Right to possession notice dated November 1st. My husband went over there on the 5th of November and our tenant was a 240lb man and now only 120lbs or less and incoherent. There was a so called friend who was to take care of him. Our tenant has no family or heirs. The so called friend who took care of him said he only had a few weeks. My husband went there on Nov 29th & he had passed away. Now his so called friend has taken all of his possessions and will not leave our property. I am going to file the Demand for Compliance etc notice with the county, and we had the police go out there and threaten them that they were trespassing and if they were not out in 3 days they would go back and arrest them. (The police told us they can not do this because we have not filed a notice of eviction with the state.) Also today the friend of tenant said they would pay us rent for two weeks and clean the place up and be out if we let them stay for two weeks. What legal right do I have now and can I now file a police report for robbery, I am sure the friend does not have any documentation that our tenant gave them all his possessions. These people look like crimminals, we do not know how long they have been there but what rights do we have. Please help.

my rights
Posted by: confused  170 Days Ago State: Oregon
I have been renting my home to the same tenant for over 2 years while I attend school in another state. I just learned that my tenant was busted in a drug raid and is in jail. His emergency contact number is no longer good. Any help or suggestions as far as evicting him and what to do with his stuff would be greatly appreciated! Also, is there any chance in myself getting in any kind of trouble for this? I don't even live in the same state, had no idea what was going on, but I am worried about losing my house to the FBI.

I have a tentant who i rent to and have done so for many years. She got married almost 2 years ago, and I never added her husband to the lease. Can I still add him to the lease and go up on her rent since they are now married and it has been over 2 years?
