My tenant since 2005 lost his job, elderly ill parents, Mom passes-you get the picture. Long story short, he stops paying rent in March 2011. Seems my kindness was taken as weakness and he only showed his face on Tragedy Tuesdays! At the risk of "Casper" being the next statistic, he was servered [...] Related posts:

I own a two-family apartment building. One tenant has been smoking marijuana and the smoke/smell transcends the rest of the building. It is offensive to the other tenant, but they are afraid to say anything for fear of creating bad relationships, retaliation, etc. How should I handle this situation?

Roaches, landlord admits upstairs apt culprit

The day I moved my belongings into Callaway apartments, formerly known as Fairway, I saw a baby roach and immediately told an employee with the initial D in the office. Surprise in the voice as a response..really?? I had my apartment sprayed immediately following New Year’s Day and almost every week after that. Living and sleeping with cockroaches which come out of the walls, into my drains, sinks, stove, crawling up the walls, falling on my bed into my sheets, blankets, pajamas, crawling across my towels, shower curtain and every nook and cranny since December has made me violently ill and continue to retch over the unsightly insects. They crawl on my counters while and during the time I am cooking and on my toaster and on my burners and the back of my microwave and when you walk you mistakenly step on them and so you cannot go barefoot at all.

Stay away from the place. Do a GAMA search from your Health Department’s Environmental office and talk to the health inspectors who have been coming here for years. GAMA search on a Health Dept site whether it be city, state or county cost $1.00 and you will learn about any property you are interested in using, renting, etc. DO IT and save yourself the pain, suffering and anguish which I have endured living at Callaway Apartments.

I have just purchased 2 background and credit screenings through RPA. Your website messed up and only ran 1 background check and then stopped working. I have now lost that page and don’t know how to log back in. I either want my $60 back or help me get back to running the screenings on my tenants.
