Re: Evicting Threatening Tenant

You are very good at this whole landlord thing. I am not good being a landlord. We are getting out ASAP. There is no need for people like us to try to provide housing in this world. We don't have the money (my job was cut and I had to take a $20,000 cut in pay after we purchased the property), time, or energy to have rental property. We have done well by our tenants for the last 4 years or so, but at a cost to our own home and family's welfare.
The house is 100 years old. Due to the age, there are things that always have to be taken care of. Typically, the rental gets more attention that our home, because I want our tenants to be happy.
Our tenant's circumstances have changed and there is a person that was absent (he lived there before, but worked out of town a lot) and is now there all the time. He's causing problems, and there is a mechanism that they can keep living there, but remove this person from the home. It's up to them to do that. He's one of those tenants that thinks he owns the property and can do whatever he wants regardless of our opinion. Bottom line is: it doesn't matter how good or bad I am at being a landlord. No one deserves to be threatened with physical violence. If you don't like what someone is saying, walk away. It's likely that after you do that, you can see their point of view more clearly and figure out how to have them see your point of view. The only way I can come up with to make them understand my point of view that you don't threaten people and make the people you threatened scared to get what you want from them, is to remove them from our home.
