Another note of caution.
I am beginning to hear stories of frustrated renters AND frustrated LLs resulting in arguments or self help evictions.
The stress has been building for months. Both residents' and LLs' financial backs are against the wall.
Stay cool. Stay smart. Yelling does not make money appear. Self help evictions put LLs in jail.

Good advice. I've had tenants push my buttons trying to get a desired reaction to use against me. --47.155.xx.xxx |

Thank you Brad. Hopefully we can all think about and remember this anytime that we are in the "heat of the moment". --73.120.xx.xxx |

Excellent point, Brad! This is where the landlord MUST lead. Remain calm, say very little.
In these unprecedented times, creativity can offer solutions that work for both, But one must remain calm to think of those solutions. --70.92.xxx.xxx |

Good reminder! Also realize there is a lot we CAN DO to help avoid getting into these confrontations.
Good screening = good residents = paying residents = positive relationships. --107.216.xxx.xxx |

Self Help evictions get LL in jail? Where does that happen? Sure, if there is some sort of physical altercation. But changing the locks and/or putting things in storage does not result in jail time. Not as far as I know. --71.184.xxx.xxx |

Diane, a landlord near me in Ft Worth, tried a self help eviction recently and he ended up in jail. The socialist have changed America . Be careful if you try one. --66.169.xxx.xxx |

Diane,
A local LL was put in jail for "constructive eviction". Our judge speaks to our group every year and every year he re-tells the story.

This is where the "silent partner" ploy comes into play.
I have used this successfully to diffuse a hostile tenant.
"sorry I know this is not what you want to hear BUT my partner calls the shots on this property, Im just acting as manager... Ill ask him xyz for you. He will probably yell at me but for you I will ask, just don't be surprised if he bites my head off and says no."
By emphasizing with them, and blaming a 3rd party, an irrational person often will de-escalate since you are not the bad guy. --137.119.xxx.xx |

This is just good solid advice for day to day life situations and not just landlording. Always respond and never react. Responding uses both unconscious and conscious mind while Reacting uses only the unconscious mind. --212.102.xx.xxx |

Hammer,
Great point! Be the MANAGER, not the OWNER. They lower their hackles.

It works even if they know you are the owner.
