New Member introduction and First Question

[Tristan Cortez]

Here is my new member introduction and my first forum question.

Hi my name is Tristan and I am 14 year old and learning all aspects of real estate investing.

I am trying to help my grandparent out on the only rental property they own.

Here is the situation, my grandparent own house just a few minutes from there own house, and it is rented to a "sometimes payer" . The key word is sometimes he only pays when he want to. Just about every landlord will tell you to evict him. But here is the twist, the tenant is a paralyzed veteran and they don't want to ruin his life buy evicting him. I believe that he his taking advantage of my grandparent friendliness.

Also any other advice on real estate invest is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

The tenant's disability and ADA rules do not give him a right to live rent free on someone a landlord's nickel. As  @Ned Carey so eloquently stated, your grandparents are not helping the tenant, they're enabling the tenant. 

Even without a formal lease, your grandparents will need to start and eviction process if they wish to solve the problem sooner rather than later.
