How do you handle bad Tenants in the Tulsa area when it\u2019s time to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh boy\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know, I know. It seems like a nightmare. How do you get rid of bad tenants (legally)? And how do you get them out as soon as possible so they stop destroying your property? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, since we\u2019re in the real estate business at Blue Firefly Properties, we\u2019ve helped A LOT of people evict tenants. Here\u2019s the process\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Understand The Laws<\/strong> \u2014 Before you evict your tenants, you need to understand your city and state laws for doing so. A quick Google search, calling a lawyer, or glancing at the lease will give you a lot of information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Have a Documented Reason For Eviction<\/strong> \u2014 Make sure you document the exact reason that you\u2019re evicting the tenant and that you have PROOF of your claim. Highlight what specific agreement they broke in the lease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Try to Reason With Your Tenants<\/strong> \u2014 Before serving an eviction notice, try to reason with your tenants one last time. But also remember that it\u2019s bad business to try and reason with someone who isn\u2019t paying rent or is being dishonest. If someone doesn\u2019t honor the terms you set, it\u2019s probably time to move toward an eviction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Give a Formal Notice of Eviction<\/strong> \u2014 You\u2019ll need to provide a formal eviction notice to the tenant. This should make clear WHY they are getting evicted, when, and what they can do to avoid eviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Prepare for the Court Hearing<\/strong> \u2014 Make sure to file your eviction with the courts and prepare for the court hearing appropriately with lease agreements, bounced checks, communication records, or any other pertinent documents. Or if this sounds too intense, you could hire an attorney to do the fighting for you. So long as the court sides with you, the tenant will be forced to leave the property within a certain period of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There you have it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
