I own a 2 family home which I live in 1 of the units. The tenant has left property in the yard and I want it removed. I have asked that he remove it on several occasions and he ignores my requests. There are several empty buckets and milk crates and they make the yard look disgusting. Can I legally remove these items. The lease states that the yard must be keep clean.
Answer
I own a triplex in Alaska and I must say, do NOT use a property manager just to manage one unit for you, 10% of the rent they collect can really cut into your own earnings and the most obvious reason not to hire one is YOU LIVE THERE. You have to put up with the person that they would end up renting to. I am currently asking tenants to move who have for the most part been "great tenants" they keep their place immaculate but they are childish. I've asked them to remove their camping gear and tent off the front deck bc they hang them out to dry for days (along with their cooler) and they argue with me about their stuff. They are not allowed to have pets, the guy saw me with my new puppy and said, "Why do you get to have pets, does this mean that I get to have a dog?" I've asked them time and time again to keep their vehicles parked far enough from the building so that I can bring the lawnmower up and have clearance to get it around the building to mow. They complain that they can't park right up to the building, (having their vehicle 2 inches from their door as if it would help them get in faster after work). I've updated all my units to include the doors and trim flooring and kitchen cabinets. EVERYTHING is nice in my units and I get the top rents for them, the exterior is always manicured and I take care of everything but these two idiots, are NEVER satisfied. Just this month I gave them a late fee bc I didn't get their rent until the 5th. Rents are due on the 1st it's late on the 2nd and you get a late fee on the 3rd. They were out of town and called me when they received their late fee to complain that "Wells Fargo took our money out on the 29th of last month you saw that our money was drafted, so why did you give us a late fee?" I explained to them that I don't know how Wells Fargo does their payments and I can't tell you how your rent check got here on the 5th bc I don't deliver the mail. You need to call Wells Fargo and find out what their process is but you are still being charged the late fee. They are NEVER satisfied. The other two units I have are being rented out in the same complex as these losers and I NEVER hear from them, they pay their rents two days before they are due and they mind their own business and keep their places looking great.
