So it's eviction time. I hate it, haven't been to court in decades... --73.216.xxx.xxx

I've had those. Consider it a news report. Maybe the light switch on the wall to the fan has failed? --172.59.xxx.xxx

Update: now both NEW smoke alarms are not working. She had to "disable" them because they keep going off. NEW fan, NEW alarms, NEW through-wall HVAC. WTH?? --73.216.xxx.xxx

Front page Sunday News report. Wow. Maybe something is going on over there. --172.59.xxx.xxx

Prior to this, it was neighbor issues with the trash, RAT issues, water issues, fence, grass, steps, railings, cabinets...it's a ONE ROOM ROG! She has more issues than our biggest, oldest places... --73.216.xxx.xxx

If you do have to file eviction, what will be the stated reasoning to the court? --73.19.xxx.xx

I do like how David uses a deductible for repair calls. --98.17.xx.xx

6x6, we'd file for Breach of Lease - she is now not paying agreed-to bills (power and water.) --73.216.xxx.xxx

It would be cheaper and easier than an eviction if you can talk her into leaving on her own. --99.64.xx.xx

How old is this tenant? Any chance she has dementia that is progressing? This sounds very similar to a tenant I had, but her tales were always about people, not the property, including thinking that a neighbor down the street was always trying to break in and the tenant in the other side of her duplex was always getting in the attic. --68.1.xxx.xxx

We have an HVAC client like this through the state. There is nothing wrong with her equipment. She has dementia and fiddles with the controls/thermostat. We tell her to consult her caregiver who assures us there is nothing wrong and the client is messing with the controls unnecessarily. --64.246.xxx.xx

Thank you, WMH. --73.19.xxx.xx

If I were you, I'd make sure I document everything. Text her back with a photo of the truck with 3 bags of trash. A picture of the thermostat at the right temperature. A picture of the well-maintained railings, etc. Just in case. --65.25.xxx.xx

It's just time to end her lease. I also like Mike a idea of talking to her into leaving. --172.59.xxx.xx

I asked if she would be paying her bill tomorrow hoping for another crazy rant and a no - but she did pay, and without crazy comments. Fooey. There goes that avenue of eviction. --73.216.xxx.xxx

Now the dryer is broken. --73.216.xxx.xxx

She has a need for attention and you're feeding it. From now on, wait 24 hours between responses and delay visits for no less than a week out each time. --143.105.x.xx

I'm asking her to give me video and pics, just to stall her. Videos of the beeping alarms, pics of the make model serial numbers, etc. --73.216.xxx.xxx

So I stumbled on Crazy Tenant on NextDoor - she uses a different last name so never noticed it was her UNTIL she posted that she had been BANNED / TRESPASSED / ESCORTED OUT of a local Christian thrift shop. Had to laugh at the post - probably hard to get booted from a Christian Thrift Store - then realized the name similarity. So I checked a little further and yep, my tenant...ooo boy. --173.18.xx.xxx
