Illegal Drug Using Tenants - Landlord Forum thread 354590

Illegal Drug Using Tenants by Anonymous on October 12, 2017 @15:40

                              
A couple of weeks ago, someone posted that a tenant was using drugs and that other tenants had complained and wanted something done.

Don't do a damn thing except tell your tenants that if he or she has a problem, to call law enforcement themselves.

We are not babysitters. We don't need be involved in tenant's disputes. If your neighbor had a complaint about a neighbor across the street, would you be responsible? No. Your renter has paid his rent. It is now his property. He can deal with it.

You call the police and your name is all over the system now regarding the alleged drug use. Nice way to put a target on your back.

Anonymous as usual attacking the OP. rather than offering an opinion.

I had a similar issue with T dealing drugs out of my rental house. I called the cops, and they said they would look into it. Nothing was ever done by the cops.
I ended up getting the T out at the end of the lease by not renewing the lease. Ended up keeping all the deposit for damage.

I wouldn't tolerate drug use (illegal). As it grows and becomes known to neighbors and law enforcement, the owner is at risk of property seizure. No good comes from illegal drug use. Get them out.
