“Lapatin said Watson has a criminal record. He is being held on $100,000 bail.”

Yeah it’s always that sort of POS that does something like this, he was NOT on the lease .

The courts are SO slow to react ,I can entirely understand why people might take things into their own hands .

This lady probably took a chance and rented to someone without the best credit and he repaid her by allowing his POS cousin who definitely wouldn’t have passed a background check to stay over.

It should NOT be a big deal to remove someone not even listed on the lease when the primary tenant is no longer around . But no, you have to go through the ENTIRE eviction process as if you signed a legally binding contract with said party.

The take away here has to be you simply cannot take a chance on poor people. If the cousin had been middle class all she would have needed to do is start the eviction process and then sue for lawyers fees and anything else needed to cover the entire ordeal . A middle class individual would have the resources to allow the landlord to be made whole . A poor person does not.

How absolutely tragic.
