Finally got the bitch out today. Our lawyer (sister and mine) made a deal for her to agree to over out, surrender the property, and I exchange we’d settle for just $2100 and not sue her for all the remainder. She did move out but never paid the money as we had agreed. So... When the courts allow it we will have to sue her in civil court (money owed is in excess of the $10k cap for small claims) which will be a pain in the ass. Luckily, legal fees and costs can all be rolled into that.
The next door neighbor gave us the keys and garage door opener, the two women were supposedly good friends, and told us the dead beat had been bragging about how she was able to buy an apartment with all the money she saved by not paying rent. So she probably thinks she was smart and got away with it all, however, she’ll be surprised by the lawsuit and subsequent lean we put on her shitty little apartment. Hell, she bought at the peak of the market too so she will quickly be underwater as soon as prices dip.
In the meantime she left the house in a filthy condition with a bunch of junk just left in the rooms. We moved all the stuff to the garage, emailed her lawyer to be sure she didn’t want any of it (we had already received the surrender letter from the lawyer and the keys to the property but it is always good to be careful), and then got down to documenting and photographing all the damages. Tomorrow we will start calling painters and cleaners to get prices because we want to turn that house around and get it back on the market so the rent money can start coming in again.
