I made a big mistake. I just got my first tentant in my
First rental property. Needless to say I still have a
heart,and am ignorant to the problem tentant till now. I
found a renter and I did not screen him. He looked like a
professional guy and when he came to sign the lease he
said he didnt have the money, Becuase his last landlord
screwed him out of 3 months rent. Being more stupid then
nice. I let him move in with absolutely no money with the
promise that he would have all the money owed by the 1st.
That would be 12 days from the time of move in. As soon as
the 1st was gettting close I tried to call and he is
ignoring me and when I talk to him if im lucky he tells me
that he doesnt have the money.that I need to wait longer.
I asked him to leave and he says its against the law to
just throw him out. So now I have to evict a guy that
hasnt paid a dime and can wreck the house. I havent been
told that if no money at all exchanged hands the lease
wouldnt be valid, And he wouldnt have a leg to stand on.
Probably not correct advise. . Cant lock him out. The
police said that since he has a lease he is allowed to
stay. So he knows how to play the system and is already
threatening court. I just started the Eviction notice
today. I dont know much about the system. Any advise will
help. Thanks. Im in Las Vegas NV
