Hello Landlords, 

So I have a 4 unit, with one empty studio....as I am their cleaning it up I get a knock at the door....it's the tenant from another unit and he is pissed at me for calling the  cops on him   .....long story...anyway...he gets an eviction notice 7 Days to pay or vacate, 3 days later the city shows up and condemns his unit because he didn't pay his electric bill and was disconnected! They are told that they can only occupy it to pack unless their power is restored. 2 days later, they are there, no power, so I called and his girl was escorted out. Here is the problem, I never got this city certified, there for, "cannot collect rent". 40 days from the start date, the Judge dismisses the case due to "wrong complaint form, start over and hire a lawyer". And I am the bad guy that needs an "@ss whoppin"... I think he is better of back in prision.

Lessons learned? Don't put in your property people with criminal history? Know when to get an attorney on board? If the quote in your last sentence came from that tenant, I'd call that a verbal threat. Anything else I missed?
