Eviction

Ok. The roommates are crazy and they've got to go. Fortunately, we wrote a trial period clause into the lease so it can be terminated within the first 60 days for any reason whatsoever.

So, why should I evict them? Well, there are lots of reasons, but the thing that pushed me over the edge was the events over the last three days.

1) Male Roommate was high on something when I got home on Monday evening.
2) Male Roommate and Female Roommate took off Monday night at 8 and only just turned up today.
3) During their "outing" they:
- stole a truck.
- did drugs.
- got fired, quit, or kept his job.
- possibly got into a fist fight with the boss, hence the maybe got fired thing.
4) Male roommate was high on something when I got home this evening.

Now, if you want to get high, fine. That's your business. But when the being high threatens to compromise my sanity and well-being, I really just can't tolerate that.

And if that wasn't enough reason for you to think they should go, I've also documented the following "oddities":

- Male roommate offered to have my boss killed. I declined and tried to treat the offer as a joke, but I was assured that he could make it happen.

- Male roommate told me of his theory that it is painful for women to think. (This was during the same conversation as the giants.)

- Male roommate told me that even though he agreed that the lease was legally binding, he said he would do everything he could to keep me from collecting on the terms of the lease should it come to a point where he felt like he wanted out.

Now, you can be quirky all you want, but combine these relatively minor items with crazy drug binge and I, as a landlord, grow concerned.

I just have to figure out how to evict them so that they don't steal my stuff while I'm at work.

Yikes.

I can definitely think of better roommates than a bible-thumping misogynist contract killer.

I asked Mindys mother because she owns rentals.She suggested for you to change locks while they are out and put their stuff on the curb.Stay home and call the police if problems arrise.According to the law you can evict them even with police help if nessesary.
ANyways....stay safe!!!
