Hooray for evictions!

Normally this would be a sad thing, but our "neighbor from hell" is being evicted for nonpayment of mortgage on their shack across the street. mind you, these folks were given the house by their family and then loaded on the mortgages to finance their "My Name is Earl" lifestyle and now they are paying the price. Everyone in the neighborhood is glad to see them go and they have trashed the house and yard on their way out. The property is listed as "REO" and the bank "bought it" for $93k. I think the city will tear down the shack and sell the empty lot, but that will not happen right away as our local economy has been destroyed...

I don't mean to sound vengeful, but if you guys knew what a living hell these neighbors created for all of us, you would be dancing and singing as their "hillbilly motor home" pulls away!

The neighborhood will be boring after they are gone as there won't be the weekly police visits and "mullet parade" with cars festooned with "Kentucky chrome" and NASCAR logos. You can't imagine the sense of relief we are all feeling as the worst neighbors in the world move out!

Sorry for the insensitive thread title. I didn't mean that all evictions are good things, just this one. For anyone going through the eviction process, I apologize...

I was evicted once in college, but the house was no longer inhabitable so it wasn't a big loss.

It's always a relief when crappy neighbors leave

We had some lousy tenants in our rental, nothing but problems, we had been thinking of evicting them and then, all of a sudden, they split! Of course they didn't pay this months rent and they broke their lease but were still thrilled. They're headed back to Michigan so look out...

They'll probably move into my neighborhood!

I had neighbors that lived in a rental next to me that were so bad (how bad were they) I bought the house from the landlord just to get rid of them. The neighborhood threw a huge block party when they left.
Nice not to have cops here every other night. I know where you are coming from.

I hear you. Got a neighbor that I wish would go away. Jail only seems to hold him for a few days at the time. Habitual DUI'er, just got another about a month ago. Maybe a judge will finally give him his due punishment.

I'm there with you. Some friends of ours went home to find that someone had been shot in their driveway. The neighbors across the street are a different kind of problem than yours -- they hang out on the front porch and smoke pot while watching the kids, have loud parties, and occasionally shoot each other. It's pretty tough to get someone evicted in Maryland, apparently.

For legal reasons, I really don't want to post pics. Besides, you guys simply wouldn't believe they are real...

We had a weirdo for a neighbor. He started to rent out his basement to a pot head who promptly burnt down the guy's garage. The fire damaged the guy next door's hot rod bus / camper etc and was a pain in the arse for the rest of us in general.

When he built the new garage, he kept burning pressure treated wood and all sorts of other smelly **** in it. We all complained numerous times to no avail. Finally he sold the house and moved away. We had a big party after he was gone.

I sold our house a year later and moved onto a farm out in the country - the closest neighbor (a cop) is 1/2 mile away and i could care less what they do over there. One of the other neighbors was shooting something the other day - not sure if it was cows, gophers, coyotes, deer, elk, moose... it doesn't really matter, they are 2 miles away and I could barely hear the gun shots.

I have neighbors that bought across the street from me during the boom time and obviously way over their head.

Apparently they moved from an Apt/PUD as they think someone else is supposed to do their yard work.

Yapping dogs, friends over all the time, his wife backed into our SUV one night (white paint on our gold SUV, gold paint on their white SUV) I took pics and called the cops, neighbors denied it and the cops said if I didn’t see it happen, it never happened

Their power has been shut off 4 times this year, a guy with a clipboard and camera shows up every other month to visit them, yet there still there!

Boma money bailed them out?

Celebrate their eviction? Hell Yaa
