What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IL
Hi,
We are in the process of evicting a tenant. There are 3 people on the lease, but two of them left (with incomes and shady credit histories). The last one who stayed cannot afford this house. She came up with a payment now, but we don't want to have her in our house. She will not be able to pay in the future and she is a very bad tenant, per neighbors, police, association. We would like to find new, good tenants.
We had a court hearing today to evict the person. I stated during the hearing that the tenant does not allow me to inspect the house and the judge moved the hearing, so that the tenant shows us the house. So, currently there is no decision, although the judge said that I am the landlord and can do with my house what I want.
PRIOR TO THE COURT DATE TODAY: the tenant has no money or credit history, realizes that she will not be able to rent and has nothing to lose. That's why she has been trying to hold on to our house. She came up with the money for the current and next month (July) - but we told her that we still want her out. She is not eligible to live in a big house, bec she cannot afford it. She needs a smaller apartment.
It was prior to the court date - when she hinted that if we don't take the money and leave her in the house, then things can happen. She said that when people move out they damage property greatly! and she has nothing to lose, cause she has no income and place to live and does not care. So, I am sure she is capable of damaging the house.
Current situation: waiting for her to let us into the house, per court's ruling. Need to know if there is a way to protect property from her damaging it. Please help!
Please let me know if you have additional questions or need clarifications.
Thanks!
