Years ago there were tweelve police cars on and around my property. I parked my car down the block and walked up to an officer who was doing nothing but standing alone, and I tried to ask him what happened since I was the landlord. The lead officer, Rafiel Perez, who was speaking with one of my tenants some 30 feet away from me, told me to shut up or he would arrent me. This officer turned out to be the bad apple from Rampart Division, that the TV show, The Shield, was based about -- all bribes..... I went to the station the next day and still no one would tell me what happened on my property. So since I'm not informed of any problems with any of my tenants, I can't take any actioin. --173.55.xxx.xxx

It gets stressful when a tenant gets arrested. I don't think there is a generic answer to what to do. I have it happen to me and I look up the docket sheets online, that tells me the lawyer, wherre housed, offense. --98.111.xxx.xxx

If they make bail, get out and pay the rent there is nothing that can be done unless they have violated some lease clause. --76.99.xxx.xxx

depends what they are arrested for.a guy up the street was arrested for selling hard drugs;cocaine,heroin etc. the owner got a temporary restraining order barring him from the property.in a few days he was gone.he could have argued the restraining order but most dont from what we hear.local laws prevail.landlords cant tolerate hard drugs in bldg.they could lose bldg. --173.14.xxx.xxx

I just make sure that the Doors haven't all been kicked in and the building is secure. Then I try to find out if it looks like the rent is going to continue to be paid --99.103.xxx.xxx

Keep those window sizes handy so you can get enough plywood to hold away the other people who lost money when this happened, they will be breaking in to steal anything they can because the tenant is unable to refund the money paid for a fix or 2. --65.43.xxx.x

Which all means I might not get Dec rent. --67.175.xx.xxx

Any advice? --165.200.xx.xx

I would rather just do a 3-Day Notice to Quit but I think I can't. Ideas? --38.80.xxx.xxx

I would just focus on the dogs if they violate your lease. --71.202.xxx.xxx

no illegal activities on premises in a three day notice to perform covenant or quit, I think that's all I can do. Thanks for writing. --38.80.xxx.xxx

My elderly aunt was doing a favor for a "friend's friend" by giving "Sally" a place to live temporarily while she was looking for a permanent place of her own. A short 11 days later we found my aunt dead on the floor. We also found out that Sally had stolen my aunt's jewelry and other possessions, and forged my aunt's signature on phony documents. One document was a phony "lease-to-buy" my aunt's home. Another phony document claimed she/Sally was to inherit everything my aunt owned. Sally stole my aunt's checkbook and continued to write checks out of my aunt's checking account after my aunt's passing. The police ordered a toxicology report on my aunt (which hasn't come back yet), and within a week, the police arrested Sally on grand theft and fraud, and she is in jail pending an arraignment (after the toxicology report comes back). Of course our biggest concern is finding out what really happened to my aunt, and moving forward. We know it's going to go to court which terrifies us, but in the meantime, what should we do with Sally's possessions? Can we box them and give them to the police? --24.205.xx.x

Karen, I'm sorry for your loss, but in this situation I think it's wise if you spend a few bucks and get a lawyer to advise you. I think you have to store her stuff, though, so before you do anything with it, talk to a lawyer. That sounds like a tough situation. Good luck. --71.177.xx.xx
