he owes me the equivalent of around $12 000

I live in South Africa so that is a huge amount of money, to put that in perspective someone earning $10 000 a year is considered "rich" here. So basically its the equivalent of a year's worth of middle class income elsewhere.

also this is my only source of income, I had to pay the municipality for the water and services consumed and I had to pay for lawyers out of my pocket, it was a huge blow and he showed absolutely no consideration for my situation at the time.

I gave him notice in January 2015, willing to write off all debt had he left the end of February 2015, I had to get a court order to evict him and he finally left the 22 June 2015, I had to collect the keys from the house at midnight that night because he was being such a fuckhead.

and then I had to do repairs for the new tenant etc, it was a nightmare I will learn from, but thats not to say I cannot shame this man as well.

Luckily I haven't had to deal with that yet as a landlord. It's messed up how the laws protect them, even squatters. I'd probably burn the place down and collect the insurance once they're past $5k in debt.:fire:

I understand some laws. You don't want some dickhead landlord putting you and your kids out over bullshit reasons.

I think the standard 30 day notice is about it though. No reason for longer than that.

Good luck dude! Lots of turkeys around here although they seem to disappear this time of year.

I already killed one.

They are acting funny this year. Either they bred early or they are going to breed late.

The big ones aren't strutting. The hens are still grouped together. Normally after they breed they go off by themselves and make a nest.

Got three days left.

Last fall I got a nice one. 11 inch beard. Weighed close to thirty pounds.

I think late this year. We usually have a few toms out in our fields all puffed up but haven't seen any yet this year.

Burning down the house- it's tempting.. once i discovered the replacement-cost is nearly twice what the market price of a house is. but the only thing worse than outstanding debt is legal problems.

detroit has a ton of bank forclosures and they all got taken over by squatters. what are ya gonna do, physical eviction may be the best route if it doesn't backfire.

laws vary state to state. here someone may get free rent up to a year, if you're not careful, but at least 3 or 4 months before the sheriff will do anything.

About the same here. You got to give a 30 day notice, maybe longer if the person has kids, I don't remember that part. After that you got to get a court date which will take a couple weeks to a month, then they get 14 days, or close to it I think, then you can have the sheriff put them out.
