I've had to evict someone recently and it makes you want to murder. I luckily live in a state where they make the scumbags move out, but as the landlord you have to cross all I's and dot all T's. The maddening part for me was at the courthouse they will assign them an attorney. So they try to find loopholes to get cases dismissed so you get to file again and go through the whole process again, while said scumbag lives for free. They almost act like you're the bad guy while you're being stolen from. I had the case dismissed on a loophole then got my buddy lawyer to show up. In the end the tenant should have taken the deal I offered back when I predicted an eviction and court were eminent. Instead he tried to play the system and lost out bigger. F him. On a side note that's going to sound condescending...I don't understand why you breadwinners are needing permission from the wife on how to invest/ spend money.
