Bought a house that has a tenant (relative) should I evict

[helpmee]

So they were living rent free with the relative I bought it from for YEARS
Its a two family house in a more expensive area so rent would probably be around 1700-2000 fair

This is the convo
ME: I am going to write up a year lease starting next month rent is going to be $1000.. After a year I am raising it to $1700. So I will give you the year paying $1000 to figure out if you are staying or to save up to move out
HIM: I dont have $1000 for next month
ME: You work, you had years of no rent to save
HIM: .....(nothing)
ME: its your call, I am offering under market rent for a year
HIM: This was unexpected so I need some time
ME: I will have the document for Monday .. Rent is due on December 7th


So its clear this is probably not going to work...
Just start the eviction process now?
Years of no rent I would have saved a bunch of money

BTW jobs of the people
nurse and hospitality
so income is coming in.. But they have b.s like expensive cars and blow money on trips

[NuggzTheNinja]

Evict. Seriously though lol for not thinking about this before you purchased someone else's problem.

[1cav]

Burn the house down to get your point across that you're not fking around.

I knew it was going to be an issue
I live in one half of the house.. They live on the other
But I do not need to rent it out now.. So its not big deal
And the place was about 50% of worth
I just hate freeloaders

[J1n]

Yeah, its better to have em leave. this is going to cause more drama over the course of a year. Just deal with the crap now and the rest of the year will be much better.

[Schism45]

Evict. Not even a question.

[Frank Drebin]

get that fuking deadbeat out of the house. LMAO at gifting a stranger $8400

[jawbruh]

They would be stupid not to take your offer.

brb rent 700 under market in upscale neighborhood

get that fuking deadbeat out of the house. LMAO at gifting a stranger $8400

and you would be stupid for gifting them 8400 LOL

[Tears]

Burn the house down to get your point across that you're not fking around.

lmfao. this

[helpmee]

decision is made...
I will ask them to leave within 30 days
If they are cool I will give them the 30
If not eviction process (takes more than 30days)

[janglingjack]

Get those parasites out your property asap brah

[helpmee]

I hope this is a troll thread. Why would you let them live there after you bought the house

Just closed

[y0jimbo]

lol.

[Awarebrahhh]

lol, I would have evicted them the following day after purchase. If there ain't a previously signed rental agreement then gtfo.

[SynapticCleft]

I would not hesitate in evicting them if they plan to stay without paying rent. If they don't plan on paying rent evict them ASAP since it takes awhile for the eviction process. Also why the phuck did you close on a house with people living in it and they did not agree to pay rent or move out before the closing?

[requital]

i'd evict based on his response, they are not worth the hassle

[soulivex]

What state? LOL if you're in California. Expect him to be living there for another couple of years while you go through the eviction process.

[cookiefiend]

Do you even need to go through an eviction process? Their contract is with someone else, not you.

[helpmee]

And you didn't know that person was staying there before? After buying you walked in and were surprised to see someone still there?

I know they were living in the house

What state? LOL if you're in California. Expect him to be living there for another couple of years while you go through the eviction process.

I live in a liberal pit..
So it could cost me 5-10k and up to a year..
no kids

Do you even need to go through an eviction process? Their contract is with someone else, not you.

No contract or lease..
But if they had a lease it transfers to the next buyer anyways
They have 30 days







Its a family member ..
So I think they thought I was going to be a nice guy and just let them live for free.. Like the last person did

[Leonydus]

you gotta evict asap, and you will be lucky if they dont fuk up everything before they leave

[samsbolton]

good point not enough detail in the op.

In England you can buy a house with a sitting tenant. Even if they haven't paid any rent in years it can be a hassle to evict them though. If he needs time to think about 40% under market rate its probably just time to push the button

[Awarebrahhh]

Just hope they don't make up a fake contract that they were renting before.

[helpmee]

It's pretty obvious this is your fault, you don't seem very bright. You can't even answer my questions properly. I'm asking what your interaction with them was, and what you thought was going to happen after you finished buying the house.

Weren't you the one that got arrested in a prostitute sting, too?

no arrest
no prostitution sting for me
wrong person



Owner had house
Owner lived in house
The freeloaders lived in house with the owner for two years (two family house)
House was to much for owner to upkeep
Tell me they want to sell house for 50% of value (amount owed)
I buy house
Owner moved out
freeloaders still in

House was such a good deal that I was /am not worried about them at the moment (money wise)
We could of kicked them out pre sale but the owner is /was a pushover so I let it be just to get closed

what are you on about? If he had 50% equity in the house you pay him that, the bank still wants the other 50%..you don't get the house half price

[helpmee]

u wot
EXAMPLE
600k house
person owed 300k

person sold it to me for 300k
I paid 300k

wtf are you talking about the other half

[samsbolton]

yes so he kept the 300 or he gave it to the bank. So either him or the bank are 300k short..

strong fraud detected. And by strong I mean pathetic. Jog on.

[sclimb]

Tell me they want to sell house for 50% of value (amount owed)

Why did they sell you the house at 50% value? That doesn't make sense to me.

[BullittEV]

i think he means the last owner took a 300k hit..

now he has 100% equity with the house payed off.

if not, strong troll

[sclimb]

It sounds like the OP owns 50% of the equity, and the bank owns the other 50% of the equity. So, wouldn't OP not have the rights to evict these people?

[Med-Tec]

Is it awkward listening to the freeloaders fuk next door?
