The whole thing is messed up beyond belief. Our tenant did not pay rent for 2 years and this situation has become so stressful we have decided to sell. Yet, after several eviction notices the tenant continues to squat and is threatening to countersue for unintelligible reasons (buying time). And so, we have to wait for a court date which is another indefinite period of time. So for the past 3 years, this house is held up payingi taxes all because one tenant has enacted the eviction process. We have literally offered him money to move out but he refuses.

Mind you the tenant is one of 3 tenants in the building (The other 2 have left for over a year now) and has been with us for 20 years. Because of hard times we are okay with giving him as much time as he needs to pay rent, however it is 2+ years now. And we are in need of money now ourselves so we are trying to sell this house. The cycle IS complicated anyone who says otherwise is not in the cycle.
