Any recourse against PM? -prior judgment and eviction
My tenant started paying late/short three months into the lease. I am hopefully in the last stages of eviction through my PM's attorney-hopefully I will get possession next week.
PM told me that that this tenant had no prior judgments or evictions but that the credit score was in the 500s last month when I started the eviction. PM said they do not rent with prior judgments or evictions.
I went onto the sheriff's office site to find the status of the eviction and this tenant has a judgment in 2013 for a $2000 bad check (closed account) and a prior eviction in 2007.
I asked the PM about this and he said that they use a "professional company" to do background checks and neither of these showed up. Is this possible? I was able to find it "accidentally."
PM is taking their 10% plus the late fees, fee for going out to post notices, etc. My contract with the PM is through January.
Do you think they would let me out two months early so I can get another PM and get it back rented to a paying tenant? It could also be an error and omissions issue for them but I'm not up for the fight.
