Anyway, Yesterday I had an appointment to meet with the village inspector. He, was doing a follow up to an inspection earlier this year. I told him flat out I had not done any of the repairs because the tenants were currently getting evicted and since the last time he had been there, their electricity got shut off. I asked can you deem the apartment "no human occupancy allowed" because of no power and food rotting inside? He said yes.

The inspector and I walk in the unit and it is BLAZING HOT. They left the heat on hi with all 4 burners on the stove going. He gives me the stickers for no occupancy and leaves.

Within 3 minutes my tenants start walking in the from the building across the street. They say nothing and just start picking things up. I go out side and call 911

The police show up. I tell then what is going on and ask if I can change the locks even though the Sheriff has not show up. They say yes.

My now former tenants give me the keys but I pull the locks out of the door and drill it shut from the inside for now.

Now I get to clean up their mess.

I wouldn't even call these people tenants. It looks like they live like a pack of wild animals.

This reminds me why I don't want to do low income tenants anymore.
