Unregistered Cars
Sorry to post this again....but I still haven't found a resolution. I bought a 3 family and there was an unregistered junker car in the yard. I met with the tenants that owned it and had them sign a new month-to-month lease. I wrote in that "no unregistered cars allowed, car in yard must be removed immediately." That was December 1st 2007. Each week until Jan. 1st I spoke to the tenants and asked them to remove it. I played nice and said to was for all our benefit to have it removed. We were doing work on the property and it was in the way of the improvements we were trying to do. Each week I got another excuse from the tenants. I finally had to have my own contractors move the car so we could do the work. On Jan. 1st I gave them a letter again saying the car had to go. Still the car went no where. I called the tenants again and they said "it will be gone in days." Today I go to the property and not only is the car still there, there is an additional car with no plates. Now today, Jan. 14th there are 2 cars without plates sitting on my freaking property!!! I called the tenants and they screen my calls. One tenant called and left me a voice mail. He said the 2nd car would be regstered soon. I guess he thinks if the car is registered it can stay because I wrote "un-registered cars" must go. Of course I can not have each unit with 3-4 cars. There are 2 people in the unit and my intention was that they could each have 1 car for a total of 2 cars.
Should I just give notice to quit, and if so, will it hold up in court? So far (2 months) they have paid the rent on time. But they clearly can not follow the rules of the house.
