That sounds like a good plan. It is best not to have tenants during tornado season.It does kind of seem like it might be easier to give these tenants notice and keep us having a basement a secret from future tenants.

What sort of lease do they have? You'd have to follow state law regarding giving notice/eviction. "I don't want them to be able to shelter i my basement in case of a tornado" likely won't cut it.It does kind of seem like it might be easier to give these tenants notice and keep us having a basement a secret from future tenants.
The Twilight Zone episode about the fallout shelter came to mind.Have you ever seen the Steve Martin movie The Jerk? One of my favorite movies.
I don’t know why I thought of it …
Two sides to that coin, Q.some people make for good landlords and others are just not up to the task.
I have never had bad tenants but, not only do I screen them pretty carefully, the majority of my tenants are college students with parent co-signers on the leases, so my tenants also have parents keeping them in line pretty well.Two sides to that coin, Q.
Some tenants will destroy a house and rob the LL blind, no matter how good the LL is.

Your tenants might be happy to receive notice.There’s a reason
Month to month. I know about giving them notice, but I wasn’t aware we also had to give them a reason at the same time. There have been some other issues with them we can use though.
It does already have a keypad, but the whole point is we don’t want anyone to have access to that area.Is there a way to put an electronic lock on some door that you could unlock remotely or with a combination that you only give out in case of an emergency?
I guess you need to keep your fingers crossed that a tornado does not rip through your home, exposing to the world (or at least the neighboring area) all of the secrets currently hidden securely behind your locked basement door. Mother Nature has an uncanny knack for spoiling even the best-conceived of plans.It does already have a keypad, but the whole point is we don’t want anyone to have access to that area.
I’m kind of worried about that because the reason they were willing to move a family into such a small place is because they wanted their kids to go to the school in our neighborhood. Hopefully we won’t have to go through the eviction process.Your tenants might be happy to receive notice.

I was thinking in terms of a longer lease term and trying to give notice well before it was up.There’s a reason
