Need advice of possible tenant scam

Krystal Barcliff
Posted

Long story short new tenant had a reversal on their first months rent and security deposit. Contacted tenant multiple times to rectify situation but kept getting excuses as of why they can not pay. Finally I just went to court house to do eviction. The Sherriff served the Dispossessory warrant and the tenant answered on the 6th day saying "they do not agree". I contacted the tenant the next day and asked them if we could come to some type of resolution because at this time I just want my property back. The tenant now claims she is not the one who answered the Dispossessory and wants to terminate lease. my question is what the hell am I supposed to do now LOL.  As of right now I'm waiting on the judge to add my case to the calendar which could take two to three weeks...I'm so tired of scammers!

Get it in writing and get them out.  If she says she wants to terminate the lease let her go and get her out ASAP.  Keep the paper work going for the eviction.
