the power was shut off June 20th. The electric company went out there the other day cause there was usage when it should be off. Tenant took the meter off and jumped it.

Thanks for the help and advice everyone.

They are in a month to month lease and it stipulates that we only need 30 days notice to take back property.

Well with the electric I known I can't do anything now but I wanted to use it to help my case for eviction. I have to get an electrician out there to make sure the house isn't gonna burn down. I Just known in New Jersey tenants have more rights. I know I'm an idiot but I just want to know if there is anything else I can do to ensure they have to leave and there are no loopholes I am gonna be blindsided by.

I tried to work with him. I did do inspections. I notified him in writing to fix the property and listed everything. Just found out about the electric today from electric company. But I definitely learned a lesson. But does he have a chance in court?

We are landlords. Not by choice. We couldn't sell our house without losing money so we had to rent it. We had a 1 year lease agreement with our tenants. After the year was up there were signs problems with the police coming to the house 3,4 times a month. Neighbors complained constantly. It's a nice neighborhood, we lived there 7 years so we are close with everyone. And also seemed like other things were going on. Was hard for them to pay bills. So we came up with a month to month lease with 30 day notice to vacate upon us ending the agreement. Also stated we did not need reason to evict. Back in February they could not pay all the rent. Could not pay for 2 full months. Came to an agreement with them to pay 1500 on the first of the month and 500 each week after. They could not stick with the agreement. Multiple time one of them asked if I could take the other off the lease. Complete disfunction. He said she cheated on him with his boss so he got fired. Well I gave them a written notice to come up with past due funds within two weeks. Keep in mind they never gave a security deposit. Always would say next month, or when I get taxes. When two weeks was up they gave less then 20% of what was needed. So from there we issued 30 notice to vacate. We filed it with the court. Posted it on door and registered mail. Court date is August 23, 2017. Since then I was not allowed in my house to show it to a perspective tennant. They backed out of the lease cause they felt something was wrong with the current tenants. When I was finally allowed in the house I saw they turned my living into a rental room. The house was open and all connected. They built a room out of my living room with a dead bolt sand I was not allowed access. Also noticed some rooms had electric and some didn't. Called electric company and they said power was shut off June 20. They went to investigate and found they were illegally stealing electric from ac electric. I will have to have an electric inspection to allow someone to move in. They could have burned my house the down. There is so much more to explain. Please contact us asap
