Kids jumped off of roof

[Justen Ashcraft]

Tenant a is texting me that tenant b's kids just jumped off of the roof into tenant c's yard. What would you do? This kid and his friends have been a thorn in my side.

First thing make sure your insurance policy is in good standing and in high amounts. Then verify that it actually happened. next read your rental lease agreement to make sure you have clause you can rely on if you are considering kicking them out. if the lease does not help you need to see when your current lease with them ends. Then go explain to the jumper's parents about how the child's actions are unsafe and not allowed, and to please take steps to correct it. It has been my experience that in most cases problem kids come from problem parents. This is not always true, but is common. Check out the rental unit to see if the kid is cutting holes in wall, breaking windows, etc. It is possible this was an isolated event. if more events occur evict them. You have an accident waiting for a place to happen.
