Yard Sale Every Wedensday

[Luke H.]

My tenants called me that the furnace was acting up. I decided to go have a look myself and found them having a clothing yard sale. It is Wednesday so I'm pretty such this isn't a yearly 'garage sale'.

I fixed the furnace and I didn't say anything about the yard sale so I could review the lease before saying anything. 

This is the only thing I could find in the lease we have with them "The Tenant agrees to use the premises only as a residence for self, and those persons identified on application."

I don't want things hanging from my drive way cover or continuous strangers coming to the property thinking this is a place of business. I can think of many reasons why this all bad.

I have them on month to month and pretty fed up with them due to non-payment in the past.

Advice, suggestions, recommendations, PLEASE.

Thanks,

Your solution is called "non renew"

Only lazy landlords tolerate bad tenants. Good tenants are a dime a dozen (90% of tenant pool are good) so why are you struggling to hold on to one of  the 10% bad ones.

It's your business, you make the decisions. What are you afraid of besides the minor costs. Go find yourself a good tenant and start enjoying being a landlord again.
