my friend went through the same crap for the past 6 months with the rental house three away from his, and one two towns away he inherited after his uncle passed away last year.
the one on his street he is knocking down to build a new house for his son.
the POS "renters" have not paid a penny in 6 months since getting the 3 month leave notice. they tried everything.
he had the sheriff serve papers on them to be out by 3-30-24. they told the sheriff to eff off, we know our rites and are not leaving. what they did not read in the eviction order was that it was a demolition eviction, and that on 4-1-24 the house was being demolished. they left for wherever they went during the day to come "home" to an empty lot.
called the cops to complain and were told you were ordered to leave. you didn't. not our problem.
they tried to sue for lost belongings and were told by lawyers you do not have a leg to stand on.
the house two towns away is close to the same, two tenants have not paid in almost a year since his uncle passed.
he has the city housing inspector coming monday to do an inspection, and fully knows they will be forcefully removed tuesday morning as the house will not pass inspection for rental property as it has lead paint throughout, improper staircase width and a few other things.
