185. your problem is you are far too involved and way to close to a situation that you cannot control.

My guess is the single working mom with two children is what you saw to begin with as a good situation for you. The pitter patter of little feet so to speak suits you. But the reality of a struggling single mom doesn't meet your standards of raising children.

Your income property is about profit and long term investment.And thats the void it should be filling. But you seem to want more out it. As a landlord you are in effect reporting child neglect and abuse. And it seems in one hand you hold flowers and the the other the gun-it's my way or the highway. But of course you would never evict the kids and in your particular the five year old. And of course to get her out of your rental unit the process is lengthy,isn't it ?

Does it occur to you that because she is a working mother she may be making too much money even though it is actually too little money to meet her living expenses . So she is living in poverty but she isn't impoverished enough to be captured in the safety net.And since business is conducted during working hours of the day and she works at night and sleeps during the day,and must be perfectly alert in working hours in the night shift or risk losing her job, it seems there is little to no time during day time working hours for her to fallow through with financial assistance appointments.

So ask yourself this, what happens if she loses her job and is that not a valid fear ?
On top of all else a landlord that is adding to the pressure. Flowers in one hand offering help and the gun in the other, it's my way or the highway.

Your tennant has the right of privacy and you are too close to her problems all of which may just be a temporary set back.

You might not believe this, but you are the one on a slippery slope.

You need to step back and look at what you are doing.

Here is the big question, is your tennant behind in rent ?
Most likely not right ?

Because that would give you more power over her ,right ?

I have managed and maintained apartment building over the years as a professional, and you in my opinion are far too involved and at the same time looking to pass the buck or the problem as you see it onto the authorities because of everything that is wrong in your eyes.

Is it possible your tennant is struggling to keep herself and her children out of the system of public assistance ,being a text book working struggling single mother ?

And do you live in the same building,house,duplex whatever it may be ?

So your tennant needs a live in to help with the children and utilities so fourth. And is at a lose now finding somebody who is reliable.

And she doesn't keep a free loading bum of a male friend about the place .
Man oh man it seems you really have it all confused.

Did you even bother to ask a cop for an opinion with all their experience with domestic issues?
Is it possible they actually saw a struggling working single mother who fell into hard times ?And could you adding to the problems ?

Here is what it looks like, not saying that is what it is. if they do take away her children, she wouldn't need to live there anymore ,would she ?

Than you could clean it up and rent to somebody else.

Let's not pretend, the eviction process where children are involved is quite a lengthy process, isn't it ?

Just say'en, it looks like you are really concerned for your own interests.
Not saying that is the case.
But it does look that way.
