Court Date Changed

Monday, May 11

I received a call from the city prosecutor's office today. She wanted to inform me that the pre-trial for the felon that has been stalking me has officially been moved to June 3rd and the trial is scheduled for June 4th. I also found out that he is charged with a 1st degree misdemeanor of violating a protection order and the maximum sentence is 6 months in jail.

My project of the day was to mow my grass at home; mow the grass at two of my rentals; and haul away some old carpet from a 3 bedroom house that I'm making ready to be re-rented. I also bought some solar powered sidewalk lighting; planted a tomato plant; and did a few other things at home.

I forgot to mention that I once again won't have any evictions this month. I did collect all the rents (along with several late fees), so this month makes the 8th straight month with no evictions. I currently have two rentals that are vacant and ready to be rented.

   Hello,

   Took a few apps today for my duplex. After 12 calls in 4days, I think I've found my tenants. Nice couple, younger, both work and both are in college. You might have a clue as to what they're studying....Criminal Justice!!. Anyway, I have to screen them. What sites do you use? I'd rather not pay for it. What criteria is MOST important to you?

   Also, do you mow all the lawns at your properties? Is this a regular part of your "maintainence"

   Your book has been shipped, I guess I'll get most of these answers when it comes.

   Again, thanks...Norm

   Hi Norm,

   I look on the local municipal and common pleas court web sites. The most important things to me are previous evictions and criminal record.

   The tenants mow the lawn in my SFHs and duplexes. I mow the grass at my apartment buildings.

   Hope that helps!

   Mike

   Norm,

   Try googling your county name court and your city name court. for example, google 'Detroit Court' and 'Porter County Court'. You may also need to put the word 'Municipal'; 'Common Pleas''; or whatever else your local courts are called, into the search. If you try that and can't find them, call or go visit your local court and ask them if they are on the web.

   Mike
