email from one of the tenants
Yes, I am going after the money, but not sure what to do with the neighbor situation. Here is a letter from the tenant in the house that I just got, the tenants in the duplex have lived there for 13 years and pay the rent diligently, and I don't foresee them going anywhere for awhile. The house she lives in is hard to rent for what she is paying. How would you handle this letter if you got it from one of your tenants?

Ok Jason so the good news. It looks like by the end of the week I should be able to give you my remaining balance.!!!!!!! Yea.!!!
Now...On to crazy people. I understand you can only do so much as a landlord. But You must also understand that It's also your job to ensure theres no trouble going on on your property's. This is how my Sunday went jason. Your a dad so maybe you can relate. A police officer show up and tells me duplex tenant has called them and notified them that my children had pee'd on her plants. Ok so I am in no way making excuses for my boys..they can be....boys.lol to say the least. They admited to peeing on a plant by where the x-tenants on otherside of duplex used to live. X-tenants on otherside of duplex used to let them pee on the side of the house during the summer. Anyways. First off...she had to call the cops for that? who does that? She couldnt come over and tell me? I did nothing to these people.
The cop said he had talked to her and at first she pointed to our plants..which i dont care if they pee on to be honest...still unexcusable. The cop further said she didnt appear to be "all there" and reassured me their would be no charges done but maybe a referaal to social services for her!!! lol..Which i thought was great..still. not my point.
After the officer had left I walked over to the alleged plant and was going to write duplex tenants a letter of appoligy and offer to buy them new seeds or plants or whatever. Even thou I was pissed she called the police on my 7 and 4 year old instead of walking 6 feet over and telling me what was going on. When i walked over to the plant the tenant from a another duplex nearby was there...they were his plants!!! They werent even hers. She lied just to start **** Jason. This is immature and dumb. Im tired of it. Please understand im not trying to bitch at you. I appoligize if its coming off that way.
Im not going to sit around and wait for her to pull something else..so I know your not going to ask them to leave but Im asking for you to let me out of my lease then. I love my house. I love the space and besides them i love the neighborhood. I cant deal with this anymore. I havent complained about all the other **** they've done in the last weeks..until this.
Their sending their dog out to tear up my garbage. They throw beer canes at my truck. they say crude things to my children in the alley. They leave their radio on full blast for hours when their not even in the garage. See how immature this all is? The older man seems nice and I can say Ive never seen him or heard him do anything negaitve except for the dog tearing up my garbage..Him and his son were standing there egging him on to tear it up.
I understand that with the past couple months i havent been an ideal renter because of my $$ situation. But I am a good renter and try to upkeep my home. I do like it here Jason. I know an ultimatum wont work because you cant just kick them out for being *******s. But please understand..I cant live there like this. Always worring whats happening to my truck or said to my kids. They've gone beyond the limit.
