Tenant Removal Situation

Vincent Plant
  • West Chester , PA
Posted

I bought a property 2 months ago and inherited a tenant and her kids. I agreed to accept the property tenant occupied because honestly it helped me deflect competition and I got a great price.

I had the intent all along to move her out when the time was right. It’s a section 8 tenant and they don’t pay much compared to what I can get on the normal rental market. She has a lot of kids and is not keeping the property in good condition.

I want to move her out, rehab, move in a higher paying tenant and brrrr the S@&T out of this place.

I finally broke the news to her tonight. Telling her id like to sign a new lease up to 6/15 and have her out. She took it well over the phone and agreed to look for a new place but I fear she will wreck the place out of spite. I’ve seen her snap out before and her history on paper (violence, rental issues) suggests she could be a problem.

I need to reach 6/15 with my place intact, no bs, no damage, and have her totally out by then. Any suggestions to pull this off successfully.
