My previous tenant took me for 4 months rent. It was next to impossible to evict him. I had to go down town to get a court approved eviction notice. He never showed up to the court hearing so the eviction was processed. What a nightmare my whole process was. I still pay the mortgage on the rental house plus the house I live in. Having to carry 4 months of double mortgage was killer. When I finally got back into my house it was trashed. The guy hadn't paid his utilities for months he was chopping wood in the basement to heat the house with the fireplace. The walls and the carpets were trashed. He left all his garbage stuff that was worthless. The neighbours told me stories of how he would run a extension cord out the kitchen window to run the fridge on the weeks he had his son. In the beginning he was awesome always paid on time but the last year he was never on time and impossible to find. And I will never get that money back because 4 week after the eviction his nine year old son found overdosed with a needle in his arm.
