Hi, hope everyone enjoyed last nights REIN meeting. I would like to know how to get rid of a tenant. I got my writ of possession, hired a baliff($400.00) and went to say adios. However when we get there the locks are changed. While I am trying to get a locksmith to pick the lock, an unidentified female with 3 kids come out. We are able to get the guy I am evicting to come let us in. This is when I get served withan order of motion. It is set for 10am the next morning. The baliff gets the guy and 2 other females to leave. I change the locks($200.00). The next morning the judge says the guy can stay if he pays $600.00 until the 15th until he moves into his new place. He does not want to live on the streets with his 10yr old son!!!! I was so stunned that after I explained to the judge that I was not keen on the idea since this has been going on for 6months, there are at least 3 unauthorized people,2 animals, heavy smoking and the place looks like a dump. $600.00 of the security deposit has been used for my baliff. i can`t even show the place in the state it is ,let alonne have it rentable for the 15th. Will they even go?Do they have a place? Today I did a walkthrough and the smoke was so thich I could not see in front of me. There are at least 6 adults laying around that were not there before the eviction. As I was leaving I heard one of the females say she didn`t know she had to leave on the 15th. So with all this has anyone gone through this and how did you finally get them out? Is there anything I can do now? Is it safe to have that many people in such a small place? Look forward to any help you can offer.
