ARRESTS AND WARRANTS

July 25 2012

I finished up the last of the paper work for the Civil Suit and took it to the Magistrate to get it notarized. I found out the arrest warrants were finally in progress. I also booked a flight to go visit one of my kids and my granddaughter at the beach. Meanwhile the evicted tenets had moved just two blocks away. They could actually look down and see my house and yard and see when I was gone. I could see their apartment from my front door. It was only a couple of weeks before the sister's car showed up at the apartment building. I knew that the free loaders were back into their apartment. Finally, after a call to the Magistrate the third week of July, my former tenets and a sister were arrested and booked into the regional jail. The female tenet had been on probation in another state so she had to go back to that state and serve time. As of August 27, 2012 she was still in jail in another state. I sighed a loooong sigh of relief when I learned of the arrests. I wish I could have been there and seen their faces. Knock, knock who's there –the big bad wolf the officer said.

COPS AND ROBBERS

June 7, 2012

I've been playing a hide and seek game with the tenets. They would tell me they would be out by Memorial Day. I watch and look and listen and saw little of any kind of activity related to moving-no boxes coming in. Each day was the same "we'll be out tomorrow". They waited until the afternoon of June 5^th, which was the last day they legally could be there before I call the sheriff to haul them and their stuff out. They refused my standard "exit review" of the premises. Then they waited a couple of days before they returned the keys (after I called them and asked them to also bring the extra rent for the now six days they had possession of the apartment. I got the key and no rent. They refused to pay it and all I got was a lot of yelling and cursing in my front yard. So now I am out six days of rent, court costs for the eviction, which the tenets are suppose to repay.

The place was left really dirty. Thank heavens I had a deposit because all $440 went to cleaning and repairs. This was a non-smoking apartment and the tenets, a sister and her boyfriend were smoking. I had an estimate to clean the living room, including the walls, carpeting, windows and blinds to be a smoke free place. The estimate was almost $400. This has not been done yet. I have to recover this plus rent and storage of items left behind. This has resulted in a Civil Law suit and another $100 in court fees. Who knows how much if any I will recover from the robbers and their families.
