Rented out room in my own condo wouldn't pay or move out.

[cynthia0321]

Dear the Law

I am so glad that I found this forum so I could ask some help from

people who know and understand what I could do.

I 've rented out one of rooms in my own condo in MI to the guy I found

from roommate.com.

We set the rent at $ 700 per month with only $ 280 deposit.

From the start , I had to tell him several times to get paid .

even though I didn't make any dacument for lease,

We generally talked through e-mails and I saved them all.

Since then he never paid on time ever.

and He didn't return my call or e-mail for a while...several times.

First time , he said he got into the accident..so he said he was afraid

that I would be mad at him for not paying..so he didn't simply come back

home or return any of my contacts..

By then, I didn't want to push hard someone who just got hurt from

accident , so couldn't work for a while..

so I said pay me as soon as he could ...

But that was a start.

After he made promises so many times..

Suddenly he was out of contact again, and then he said he got hurt at work.

He told me so many times ..he would send me payments by mail..

and finally he said. ..it was returned for wrong address .

He said he's sorry..so we made a contract over e-mails ..

that he would move out of the house by 10 th of october and

pay the 2100 dollars for unpaid 3 months rent..

I didn't ever ask for late charge or anything .

He promised to wire moeny to my account ..and made once 240 .

and now suddenly he said he is broke..so don't have much money

and he's out of state ...he can't move out by then...so rude!!!

( all through e-mails)

and then today...breaking promise to pay some of the money by this

weekend, he sent me an e-mail saying he's coming back to michigan to work at office job and figure out how much he have left (where? ) and send me

some money ...

( I guess he got hurt at work...so now the company putting him at desk job)

I am out of state right now....at AZ so I can't be there all the time.

I am just worried he would just run away...or steal some stuff from the house

while I am not there.

I am so tied up here till next weekend...so I won't be able to change

lock or anything ..


sorry about long story..

But anyway ..I could evict him legally and get my money?

I am so tired of him ..and I think I have been really patient and nice to

the roommate .


Please help!!

If I have to do something and pay for it..I would do it!!


Sincerely,

Kim

Did you evict him yet or otherwise get him out? If not then yes, you can evict him for nonpayment of rent. Here's a guide.
