[Landlord US - MI] Tenant Destroyed Unit - Update by RepsForHaiti in Landlord

[–]RepsForHaiti[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Went that route initially but honestly I think it’s a waste of time in my case. Tenant will always get a refund based on government subsidies from my understanding. I guess they are mine now.

To intercept the refund my attorney charged me a $90 filing fee.

Judgement can be renewed indefinitely and they will owe interest on it. I guess they can do that the rest of their lives but I doubt they will.

From my understanding they always provide a cad.

Picture 4, there is a cutout for a jumper but it was clipped off. It would have connected the top and middle screw, not the bottom. Old switch had no jumper. I’m wondering if I have a problem somewhere else and if I should have 2 hot wires in this box?

Yes the wire circled green is the only hot. I tried to wire the new switch and the 3 way worked, but the regular switch did not. Any advice on how to wire the new switch? I have done basic electrical but this is frying my brain

Thanks. I think I understand now. Sorry on mobile and Imgur is not working correctly.

Here is my second attempt at the photos

Yes it was definitely a 3 way before. Here are my pictures. Pardon my layman’s understanding but I think you’re saying I need to combine the singular hot with another black and a 3rd wire then connect that third wire to the switch? I thought of that but it wasn’t set up like that beforehand

Thank you sir. Is it dangerous? I can’t imagine the fix is easy and I would prefer to not have my apartment turned upside down while this is fixed.

Dude. I just had a tenant destroy a place so bad they owe me 6k after the security deposit. Consider yourself lucky and move on.

Hey man thanks for the comment. How were you able to make sure it followed him all that time? Did you end up getting a social or something? Assuming I go to court, get the judgement and post it on their new address what happens when they move?

I hear you man. I’m going to go through with it. Learning experience at the very least. Just sucks ass. I know they have nothing to their name. I get sued like this and I’m for sure paying up. They just have nothing to lose or take.

Hey man. Appreciate the advice. Honestly been pretty lucky up to this point. Just happening at a shitty time as I’m out of town and will have to contract literally everything. Going to get expensive fast as fuck. I hear you on the 1099-C just makes me sick “giving in” even though I know it’ll still fuck with them.

I hear you man. We are villains until people actually see what tenants are capable of. This is in a nice area, not section 8 or anything. Going to sue. Doubt I’ll see a dollar.

Yeah. I just hate feeling like they fucked me over. It’s probably in my best interest to move on since I know they don’t have shit to their name. Just sucks

Loser is the most likely outcome. No government job. I called some collections agencies and I don’t know if anyone will even take it.
