I have a 2 family residential property in that we renovated last year. We are starting to slowly have issues with one of the tenants. First of all, she doesn't appreciate or thank us for anything. I know this is not important, but it does become important as we progress. Whenever something small breaks or she needs anything, I am there almost immediately with whatever contractor is needed for the job. She never says thanks in any way, shape or form. Who cares, right? Not me so much, until I go over there and the place is full of stuff to the point of hording. Still, so what, right? It's her and her daughter's place, right? Who am I to judge what or how much stuff they have. Then I show up because a neighbor's tree fell on the rear of the house and grazed it and she has two pitbulls in the backyard that are not part of the agreement that we have for 1 Pomeranian (that destroyed that destroyed the blinds in the front window, BTW). Then I pass by on July 4th and there's some random dude BBQing on the small front porch of the wood frame house. As a matter of fact, there are always random dudes hanging around. Lots of them. All day. 2-5 hanging out in front that have now chosen milk crates as their sitting vehicle of choice. Meanwhile, the other respectful sweet tenant on the other side is leaving her lease early to live with her boyfriend. We have rented out her side already to a young couple, but I am worried about what they will think with all this BS going on next door. Anyway, I have given her 2 warnings about the dogs and that she is in breach of her lease and the second one brought up the BBQing on the porch and the loitering. I also said this was the final warning. I guess the only question that I have is whether or not loitering by non-residents in a small rental situation is something that anyone has encountered and resolved. Thanks!
