Property Inspection by Jon on August 12, 2022 @11:35

                              
Can I enter the property after notifying tenant of inspection via E-Mail, TEXT and letter sent to their PO box. I never received any acknowledgment or anything from tenant about this inspection. Do I need some kind of communication back from tenant prior to entering property?

If you normally/regularly email/text with your tenant, then that would be an OK way to communicate that you want in to do an inspection. You can send them a letter, AND post a notice on their front door of when you plan on entering. No, they do not have to give you any communication back from the tenant. But when you go there to do the inspection, they may be there, and may or may not let you enter.

If they won't let you in, find out why, and try to set up another date and time for an inspection. If they will never let you in, you may need to go to court to have a judge set up an inspection date. They would be in contempt of a court order then, if you cannot get in on a court-ordered date of inspection.

I had an attorney send him a letter and ever since then he only communicates through the attorney. He now sends the rent check to the attorney. Not sure why. The attorney is not the property manager and lease was never changed to reflect that. So the attorney sends me the rent check. No charge because he sees this guy is just being an “ASS”. He does not water front yard plants and they are all dying. I hired service to treat trees and shrubs in hopes to save them. My son wants to take over the property when lease expires and tenant is killing all vegetation.
I have 10 weeks left on the lease but I think he will not leave after lease has expired. He will remain as difficult as possible. I just worry about many other things he may be doing to AC, water heaters, drains, structure, windows, carpet and wood floors. I need some professional help to apply some pressure in the right place that screams to him his decisions moving forward will follow him.
He did not answer the door when I arrived for the inspection. I did not enter the house. We saw someone inside and was probably one of his kids. We will reschedule using certified letter and if that fails we will go to the courts and plead our case.
