How to deal with Problem Tenants (+ Free Legal Advice)

Problem tenants

In my experience, the most common problems landlords face with tenants are related to:

So, which is your dilemma, aye?

Alas, as a landlord for several years, I’ve dealt with many of these problems to some degree first-hand. Fortunately for you, I’ve documented my trials and tribulations in this section of my blog, which means you might be able to learn from my epic failures and successes.

The sad reality of being a landlord is that you’re pretty much guaranteed to run into problems with tenants eventually. This is a business based on people, and people are idiots, so it’s only a matter of time before shit hits the fan.

While I’m not legally qualified in any shape or form my primary aim is to try and help you resolve the problem the right way through my own lousy and regrettable experiences.

Golden Rule – Don’t be irrational

First and foremost, and I can’t I stress this enough…

One of the biggest mistakes landlords make during time of catastrophe (it almost always feels like a catastrophe when you’re dealing with problematic tenants) is to act irrationally.

When I say “irrationally“, I’m mostly referring to violating your tenants right to live in quiet enjoyment. This is often the first mistake landlords make in a crisis, such as showing up at the tenant’s home unannounced or bombarding them with calls and messages.

Fear has a way of making people act batshit-crazy. Believe me, I know how scary and emotionally taxing dealing with problem tenants can be. But resist the urge to be a maniac, and instead, use the proper channels and follow the proper procedures… otherwise you’ll run the risk of worsen your position and delaying a resolution.
