For 6+ months, this deadbeat has been leaching our home without a care in the world. Her debt to us ranges in the ten thousands. Nonetheless, we took the appropriate legal proceedings and finally got a notice for the sheriff to get her ass out in ten days.
The only problem was this:
MOVER REQUIREMENTS: Moving company must be licensed, you must provide the DOT # of the mover, and attach a copy of the movers certificate of insurance.
Mover must appear at the site of the scheduled eviction on time and with the proper equipment (minimum 4 men, boxes etc) or the eviction will be cancelled.
And this:
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS: The storage facility must be located in Nassau County. It must be a commercial facility. A self-storage or a residential location is not acceptable.
We're supposed to accept this bs? To pay to move AND store this scumbag's belongings and let her comfortably search for other law-biding homeowners to screw over for thirty days?
I read in several other threads that paying for storage isn't necessary on the landlord's part, and supposedly there's some fineprint I haven't read. That technically, I'm just supposed to sit back and let the sheriff do his thing and leave her stuff at the curb. But I'm not completely sure how valid this is.
EDIT: If there's no way around paying for her lodging, I'd appreciate if you guys can recommend the cheapest "commercial" storage facilities that remain within these guidelines.

I have asked this before but never got an answer...what is the penalty for simply kicking your worthless dead-beat tenant out of the house and leaving her belongings on the curb? I assume no court would require you to take someone back into your house. I suppose you might have to pay for her temporary lodging...but my attitude..let the dirtbag sue..then don't pay.

I think the tenants could go after a LL who just dumped their stuff to the curb for damages, as that is not the proper way to evict. I could be wrong.
I often wonder whether these tenenant dirtbags pick who they will rent an apartment from by determining whether or not they can intimidate the landlord.
I'm very sure there are many landlords out there that can take matters into their own hands by simply intimidating their tenenants.
I would tend to agree with Gpsma on your previous statement. What happens if you just turn the heat off, turn the water off, turn the electricity off. Don't landlords have the "tools" to force some dirtbag tenant out.
I think it is easier to do those things when you rent an apartment in your own house. Im sure the dirtbags with a recurring history of not paying their rent generally pick places that have an absentee landlord.
I really can't picture myself dealing in a very civil manner to someone who is living in my house and not paying their rent. I wouldn't be dealing with them in court..that's for sure.
I know it's against the law, but I think if the landlord has to go as far as an eviction, it SHOULD be legal then to post the dirtbags name out there for everyone to see.
Why should they get away with it. I know the eviction will show up on a credit report, but I feel more needs to be done.
Landlords beware............dirtbags are lurking at every corner !
