This is the note we posted on the door the night our renter was arrested! Jim and I decided to drive by the house this morning to see if we could talk to the alleged sub-letters. After several forceful knocks and countless rings of the doorbell, one of them answered the door. We explain what had gone down and that they were just as much victims as we were. Unfortunately, we told them, that they would need to be out of the home in 3 days. One of the men didn't want anything to do with all the legalities and said he's be out that night. The other one, unfortunately, needed some time to think about it. He took that time and called free legal aid, which informed him he had rights! Because he signed a rental agreement in "good faith" he technically can't be thrown out!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Apparently not! This was getting beyond frustrating. We own the home yet we seem to have no rights to it at this time. After talking to my dad and brother, we decided to offer the "squatter" a pay-out! So for $200, he left and signed away all his rights to the property. Sadly, during this time, we got phone calls from 6 other individuals that had paid our renter deposits and were set to move in that week. They were understandably upset, but we told them there was nothing we could do. Again, she had no intentions of giving them rooms..the home only has 4 bedrooms. Where were all these people going to live? People can be very disappointing!
