Tennant gives owner ultimatum- What do yo udo?
A peer told me their rental story nightmare. They had a tenant move in and he paid on time every month for the first few months. Then he missed a payment and when confronted he said "If you evict me, I'm going to trash this place. If you don't disturb me, I'll leave in 4 months and leave the place unscathed." So the landlord let him stay for 4 months without paying, he then moved out without damaging anything. How would you handle this situation (besides better screening)?
