Squatters Threaten Landlord

I learn what's going on in my houses from every direction but the tenants.  Got word that tenants in Apt B had moved out and were moving in some other people to take over their lease.  I send the maintenance man to check out story and  wouldn't you know....no-one's moving out.  They were just changing out some furmiture.  But the past tenants are only seen around town and not at the "only moving some furniture around apartment".  And the vine says that new tenants aka "squatters" have traffic in and out all night driving in the neighbors yard and blaring music.     This does not make tenants in Apt A of duplex happy.

Move forward one week and tenants in paper-thin-walls of Apt  A have had enough of B's loud music.  So A calls police on B.  The police arrive on the scene to find that tenants in Apt B have a scanner and are aware that police are on their way and scatter so that no one is around when the police arrive.

Next morning tenants of Apt A are at my door when I get to the office.  "They were not happy with last nights activities.  kids too tired to go to school, the neighbors kids are tired for school too,  something has to be done."   Apt A is really getting angry.

By this time, I realize that I need to take some action, at least check out the stories.  I call the PD and get an officer to go to the duplex with me.  When we get there, the squatters are nowhere to be seen.  But while we are there they drive up in front of building (we were in the back)  saw the police car and took off.  This made squatters mad that the police were checking on them . So after I left.apt B picked a fight with those in A.  Police were called again and hauled off Tenant in A uptown.  While A was gone, his truck keys were taken from his truck, his stero ripped out and the satelitte dish tore off the house.      What to do? What to do?  I send a 5 day eviction notice canceling rental agreement with tenants in B because police were called.  Now squatter in B is calling me screaming into the phone demanding to know why invisible tenant( Shane) is being evicted and not the people in Apt A.  As calming as I could, I told her that I would not discuss my business with her and that Shane would have to call me.  Here is where the threat comes in.  She the squatter has plenty of money and she is gong to sue me for not evicting tenants in A.  Chief of police says that I can have them hauled off of my property for trespassing.  All I have to do is give him the word.    Why didn't I think of that?  So that is the plan in the next couple of days.  I'll let you know how that goes.

All in a days work!
