Well, I haven't heard anything from my mold guy since Friday. I drove by the property today and all his stuff is out of the yard, his vehicles are there. I'm assuming that he's home, since he's always home.

I'm really leaning towards not contacting this guy after being 99.9% sure that he was out of his mind high the other day. How would you proceed from here?

Would you let it go and not do anything?

He was loading a truck up the other day.

Would you call him or text him and say hey dude, I know it looks like you were moving out the other day, just checking in to see if you still are?

Would you call or text him and say hey dude, how are you making out with the mold?

I really don't want go that route, because it may imply that I am agreeing with him and admitting that there is mold in the unit. Which I am absolutely not.

Would you simply let it go and wait a few weeks and post a notice for him to vacate? I have a feeling that S will hit the fan if I do that just randomly showing up. (Not that I care that much.)

If he was as high as I think he was on Friday, there's a good chance that he doesn't even remember me being there.

Thought? --50.107.xxx.xx

When I say would you let it go and not do anything, I mean in regards to the mold. Obviously he's going to be moving. Whether he knows it or not. --50.107.xxx.xx

Go by about 10PM and see if the lights are on.

Is rent paid up? If he's there and rent paid, wait a few days and see if anything happens.

If rent not paid up, file. --23.121.xx.xxx

I am assuming the rent is paid so I would keep an eye on the place since it looks like he is moving on his own.I would call the power company and see if he has called in a turnoff order so you know if you need to put it in your name.I would drop the mold issue,he doesn't even remember it and it will do you no good to bring it up.Give him his moving papers closer to the end of the month --72.231.xxx.xxx

I am hopeful that you know this, but people who have drug stashes at home are SUPER jumpy. No surprise visits.

Maybe use the "I need to check on the HVAC/change filter.", as a non confrontational reason for a visit. Call, text, mail, etc...a notice.

I have followed this thread a little bit and realize that you are waiting, so as it does not to appear to be a retaliatory eviction (and that's smart), but you really need to get him out quick. If he doesn't trash your house, someone looking for his stash will. (Not trying to add salt) Even worse, if he is dealing, all of your future tenants will be getting knocks on the door at 3am because "I know this guy."

Best of luck. This thread has reminded me why I mostly do month to month leases.

Best of luck. --74.124.xxx.xxx

I would probably call and say something like "I was just calling to check on you, you seemed out of it the other day, I also noticed you were moving some things out and wondered when you were planning on giving the unit back to me"

If he was stoned, he won't like the fact that you are aware of his behavior and the fact that you noticed him moving stuff should make him twice as nervous that he can't hide in the background and that you are expecting him to move. That will probably start a conversation that could go any number of directions. Keep in mind what your goal is: to get him out as quietly as possible as you have this conversation. --74.196.xx.xxx

Since its been cold in PA. Post a 24 hour to inspect. Go in change the furnace filters, check the sinks for leaks. Have a clipboard and check list of things to look at, you makeup the list. Walk in the bedrooms check the ceiling for leaks. Not a word about m.o.l.d. The roof may look perfect but ice buildup can cause leaks of course don't mention that though to him. OR his next high he will see leaks and pink elephants walking the ceiling!!!! --99.56.xx.xx

I would assume the storm is over for awhile and if there was nothing done that would stand up in court as a reason to evict I would have to wait on that here in NJ. If he does not pay then evict immediately.

He's a scary guy and if you want him out I hope the PA courts side more with LLs than NJ courts do over issues other than rent.

Is there anything in your lease that would be grounds for eviction that he has done? Maybe wait for warm weather when a judge is more likely to put someone out and you get to have some income from the unit.

Maybe it wasn't meth. Maybe he had a wisdom tooth pulled. Have you seen the videos of how stupid people get on the anesthesia for that? Occasionally they have one on Funniest Home Videos on ABC on Sunday night, which is one of the most violent shows on tv where people laugh when someone gets hurt. --73.33.xxx.xxx

AllyM of NJ, Do you think that some of the Americas Funniest Home Videos are staged??? Of course for the show and hopes to win money!

Why do people go to the car races? A percentage want to see and know there will be crashes.

Why do people watch Jerry Springer to see who gets into a fight!!! And WHY people air their dirty laundry on national TV is mind boggling to me!!!

Why do people go to hockey games? A percentage wants to see fights!

Why do people watch the TV series Jack__ __ s? To see people doing STUPID stuff and it all was staged.

The NEXT REALITY TV Show: D.E.A.D.B.E.A.T. Tenants go viral. This would be a 24/7 series. There would be plenty of material for another 2 or 3 channels to handle all the material. WHY? because people do S.T.U.P.I.D. stuff!!!

He's month to month, right? Send him a letter saying that is to reiterate his 30 day notice that he gave by phone on (whatever date that was when he went crazy). To please let you know when he is out and to leave a forwarding address for the return of his deposit. --174.216.xx.xx
