Should this LandLord Evict Renter?
I have a contracy through Sears for my Oil Furnace, a couple of weeks ago the lady who rents from me called me and told me the Furnace wasn’t kicking on, so I called Sears and made an appointment for it to be fixed. Unfortunatly it was a week out before it could get fixed. I gave the Renter 3 heaters including a kerosene heater. This is a single wide Mobile Home. Unbeknownst to me she went ahead and had it fixed on her own, she didn’t want to wait for Sears. Now my contract with Sears is null n void. I just paid $300.00 for the yearly contract. Now she is telling me I should pay for the service she called for which cost her $200.00. The rentor let the fuel run out and that’s why the furnace stopped working. As long as she’s living there I can’t have Sears do a check up on the furnace for fear she will tell them about someone else fixing it. Should I evict her?
Evict her for what?
There are a lot of unanswered things here. How cold was it in there? Did anyone tell her to check the oil? It may seem like an obvious thing to do, but many fuel deliveries are automatic and running out just doesn’t occur to a lot of people. Were you clear in telling her that Sears was coming but that it would be a week?
How is your contract with Sears null and void? Your fears don’t void the contract.
Did you give the tenant the Sears contract info in case there was an issue?
If being out of fuel was the only issue, how was it “fixed”? A refill isn’t a repair.
If you were crystal clear to the tenant in telling her when Sears was coming and it wasn’t extremely cold, you can tell her that she jumped the gun in calling another repair service and that you won’t be paying her bill.
If you weren’t clear or if it was really cold, then you need to work something out with her.
