If NYC you are screwed. The recent laws are not in favor of the landlord. Good luck, I completely understand and wish you the best. I had a similar situation with a woman with kids. She was getting welfare and social security payments for her kids, plus she was working at a bar for cash. Yet she wouldn't pay her rent, she was constantly shopping...boxes were being delivered to the house everyday. She used a ridiculous amount of water causing extremely high bills and she acted like she owned my house ...told me not to go there because it was harassment. Say s prayer and take them to court it will take a while so serve them soon and don't give up. Your tenant must be getting social security disability or other services so he should pay his rent. I understand that people need to have compassion but landlords have bills and responsibilities too....Terrible situation...

I would try telling him that you are going to evict him. Say he has until the end of this month to move. If he does, you will return his security deposit but if he doesn't he will be evicted and and you will ask the court for him to pay for your legal expenses, also it will be difficult for him to get another apartment with an eviction on his record. Hopefully he will take the offer and leave....he is disabled and a veteran so I really feel bad for him but I certainly do understand your situation too and it's not fair to you either.

This would be highly dependent on the state / city of your rental

I don’t know Virginia or DC laws, but I would suspect they skew blue. This may make removal much harder. I’d try to find an eviction specialist attorney and at least ask them what the process looks like, and when you can start the process.

Do they have a job? Or are they getting $ from state? What changed in their financials? Try to find out to see how you can assist. Maybe you can do some research on state and local help for the disabled.

If the person doesn’t have an income, they can qualify for state housing. If they are at risk to be homeless, they can qualify for emergency housing (again depends on state).

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
