He was also a fireman/fire inspector which, when I evicted him, he dropped the hammer on me on vioations. Of course, he was supposed to be helping me fix the apartment, which I hadn't planned to rent until it was fixed. So, by "helping" this guy, not only did I not get any rent, I ended up with thousands of dollars of violations I needed to fix. No mention of the laws he broke in changing locks, etc, without telling me.

That sucks... but I wonder what your tenant's boss at the city would have thought about his antics?
