R|ReLo #3a: a l'il rumble
answer to one of the more popular questions
- when are you moving up? - not in this month & likely closer to april. here is the short answer - the place i'll be living (the BA place) was suppose to be vacated yesterday by a tenant who has been there for ~ 15 yrs. tenant is still there. (not good) i can't move in until tenant leaves (and recall work still has to be done on the place). [there is a whole back story, which is not as interesting as some of the LOST t.v. episodes, so i'll spare you and myself.]
- what are you going to do about the tenant? - hire someone who can help address the matter. another short answer - i'm not a lawyer.

There are several ways to get rid of a tenant:
1. Legal route - gire a laywer, give good cause, have judge listen to sob story of how life is not fair and your family are miserable slum landlords who have sapped the life of of poor hapless person. Spend lots of money to evict tenant that is not paying rent. Eventually tenant leaves, laywer takes vacation with your money and judge is caught in police sting doing illegal things with appliances.
2. Other route - hire friendly but large folks to talk with tenant and help him pack his belonging to move elsewhere. Less expenseive and quicket solution than #1 - although the surgeon general has determined that this can be hazardous to the health of the tenant.
3. You start working on the house whether he is there or not. Open up a wall, turn off the gas to work oni the pipese, work on the electric panel, etc. He would get the hint. And if he doesn't, see option #2 above.
Sorry to hear that it played out as you had feared, but I'm glad you are prepared.
Anon ... if i understand your suggestions - (1) lawyer, (2) large person, (3) work on house anyway.
So ... I'm thinking that if we get a muscular lawyer who also is a general contractor, we'd have all the bases covered.
thanks for your insight. - S.
