[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ The Forum Board ] [ FAQ ] Moral of the story Posted by Cyrus on February 23, 2010 at 9:57 AM In Reply to: Re: Bought 2nd in T sale posted by SSinOC on February 23, 2010 at 8:55 AM Yes, many lessons including: - Take videos not just photos, people connect better with a video of the scene, - Signed statements from neighbors are worthless, since it has to be sworn, notarized etc. - Videotape neighbors speaking, they probably wouldn't want to be on video - Get names and phone numbers of *all* who tell you the property is abandoned or who witness the situation. - Confirm all phone conversations with attorneys with an email, summarizing what was discussed. - Serve notice of abandonment of property and personal property. As you can see i did almost all of the above and since it is a free country, anyone can sue anyone. - File an eviction, it is cheaper. I didn't file an eviction (I did consider it) because I didn't want to be sued by someone claiming I evicted them out of a property they did not live in. That I filed a frivolous lawsuit (eviction) against them while they were not doing anything wrong. I thought they could sue me for ruining their credit, entering them into eviction databases, ruining their chances of renting again etc. But now I know, eviction is the safer route in real life. courts and people are happier with them for some reason. Some people expect to be evicted. They don't see eviction as a lawsuit or legal complaint, they see it as the manner the court hands someone a property. Follow Ups: I had the police come out and file a vandalism report – they did not want to but I told them it was required for the insurance claim 2:47 PM, 02/24/10 (0) Post a Followup: Name : E-Mail : Subject : Comments: : Yes, many lessons including: : - Take videos not just photos, people connect better with a video of the scene, : - Signed statements from neighbors are worthless, since it has to be sworn, notarized etc. : - Videotape neighbors speaking, they probably wouldn't want to be on video : - Get names and phone numbers of *all* who tell you the property is abandoned or who witness the situation. : - Confirm all phone conversations with attorneys with an email, summarizing what was discussed. : - Serve notice of abandonment of property and personal property. : As you can see i did almost all of the above and since it is a free country, anyone can sue anyone. : - File an eviction, it is cheaper. : I didn't file an eviction (I did consider it) because I didn't want to be sued by someone claiming I evicted them out of a property they did not live in.
