Remudamom Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Our "renters" (from here on referred to as the squatters) lied in court today over and over and didn't blink an eye. They are trying to buy some time and find somewhere that will take them. I am very angry. Could I put something about them on our local Craigslist? Like....if xxx and xxx try to rent from you call me first??? Or post pictures of what they've done to the house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need a lawsuit for libel (even if you are right, you don't want the hassle). Any decent landlord will want to make contact with you anyway. How did it matter that they lied? Here there is one question: Are you current in rent? No....out you go (set up Sheriff removal). I don't know your whole story though. Are these the people who had eight cats? Was this a no-pet residence? Did you take any photos? Edited September 13, 2012 by TranquilMind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 I've got tons of photos. They are still there and haven't paid rent for two months. They lied to buy more time to destroy my lovely old farmhouse. Eviction takes time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends in the rental business used to talk about a site for owners to go and log info...sort of like a credit bureau for renters. Anyone ever heard of that?

newlifemom Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 That just stinks. I'm sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 So sorry. We had an ugly mess this summer at one of our houses. I feel your pain. When we finally got the renter evicted, he truly was a squatter. The guys on the lease were no where to be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariannNOVA Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 My friends in the rental business used to talk about a site for owners to go and log info...sort of like a credit bureau for renters. Anyone ever heard of that? Yes - it exists. I cannot recall the name of it, but at one point when we were renting a sfh from a woman who was an absolute b*tch, she told us that anything we did that she didn't like, she would put it up on a website that she belonged to where landlords would go to check reports on renters. And that was precisely the way she described it - a credit bureau for renters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 So the judge bought their crap? How can they be permitted to continue living there without paying and damaging the property? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
