Abandonment can be issued 24 hours after you believe he has fled. You post up a 24 hour notice to terminate, then you can enter the premises. Then you put up a notice of abandonment and change the locks. If his stuff is worth less than 2000, junk it. I did all of this and took lots of pictures and collected evidence and kept all of my bills.
I was unaware of the forwarding address, and the newspaper thing... I guess I will look into that closer.

Hey Cuso, ****ty deal on your place. I have a buddy who use to work with this guy, I recognized the company name on his jacket. I called him and he asked around, heard that he is working for Economy Landscape.
Who knows if he actually works there or not but worth looking into

If he ever gave you a cheque for rent your bank will be able to give you a copy or trace the account it came from. You gotta ask yourself is it worth your time. Yah he screwed you. Next time drop the hammer as soon as rent is not there. Yah sounds like a prick thing to do, but you probably won't be as considerate to the next guy now, right? Renters will screw you if they think they can get away with it. Firing a warning shot like an eviction notice due to rent arrears generally gets their attention, stating its only a way of covering your interests, nothing personal.

Have you tried messaging him on facebook? Or post on his wall?

Ya, I read all the past posts.. One excuse for him not coming up with the rent was that his ex embezzled the money from their joint account... to be so stupid as to let her have access to that account is beyond me. She did take the money, she admitted that to me..
I have not contacted him on FB. The main reason for that, is I am waiting for a clue as to where he is. If he knows that his account is open to the public, it's game over.
I have to let natural selection take its course and hope he screws up like saying that he is or will be somewhere. I know he has a spot at a mini storage lot just north of where he lived... I was thinking of seeing if he empties it out at the end of the month..
When I find out where he is... Trust me, I will let all of his FB friends know how much of a loser he is by opening up a page of my rental suite with all the pictures and damage on it.

Looks like he needs to spend a little less time on Facebook and a little more time finding a fawking job. What a deadbeat. Good luck Cuso

I'm always afraid of this happening to our rental property. We got a rental agreement from a realtor, and had a lawyer take a quick look at it. We have a clause that they must have proof of renters insurance, and you get tenants insurance. Then if this ever happens, your insurance company sues their insurance company, and voila you get compensated. I know this doesn't help your current situation, but maybe something to think about for the future.

If it were me I would just let it go. There is no excuse for damaging someone elses property, but I feel bad for the guy. He obviously doesnt have the greatest life, and now things just got a whole bunch worse for him. I would take a little compassion. So youre out a months rent, a few doors, and some cleaning..........he did pay your mortgage for you for the last 3 years. Just saying, it could be worse. I think you are going to waste alot of time, money, and energy chasing this guy.....and if you do catch up with him its just going to be another kick while hes down, and questionable whether you will get anything. Fix the doors, clean the place up, and find a new renter IMHO.

I agree I just bought my first rental property and If I get 3 years of rent from a tenant with no issue I would cut my losses and move on. If the damage is really bad I would consider making a insurance claim. I might move on easier than the next guy because it would just be my time and materials to fix it back to what it was. It probably will happen to me one day but as a investment it is a high return and relatively low risk. You would probably lose more money if you were investing in stocks.

had tons of renters leave us high and dry. seems to be a common theme. awesome for 3-4 years. never hear from them. then one day dissapear house is a disaster. not worth going after them too much time effort and money. clean up, repair and move on.

Ok here goes.... I had a bunch of rentals and got screwed every way possible. Fact is, its a business.... if you don't collect rent every month it comes out of the landlords jeans. I get all the compassion stuff and believe me I tried to be the nice guy landlord. Speaking from experience DON'T DO IT. Expect your rent every month and immediately begin eviction after the first second it is late. (Funny how much quicker they tend to pay after the first notice.)
Yeah yeah I get the guy is having a rough go.... maybe he should have owned up to his obligations and confronted his landlord and explained the situation. It may have worked in his favor..
I agree. Fix it up and get the money coming in again!If it were me I would just let it go. There is no excuse for damaging someone elses property, but I feel bad for the guy.

honestly... cut your losses... clean up renovate and move on... it's all a tax right off for you... these thing always cost money and time... always lean in the renters favour... and like someone else said... you should be checking crack houses... either way... your gonna waste your time and you can't get blood from a rock or cash from a cracky... im sorry this happened to you ... just be happy he paid your mortgage for 3 good years...
