the landlord & tenant must be poor idiots cos its a lawyer that's suppose to handle that aspect of tenant payment.
Thank you.
The landlord should have had an eviction notice, and the tenant should have honoured the eviction notice. The tenant's rent became delinquent since August. The landlord was patient until December. The landlord should have called authorities to forcibly remove the tenants that are delinquent with their rent.
The landlord should have accepted the half rent offer made by the tenant and have the lawyer draw up an agreement as to when the balance should be forthcoming.
The workers for the landlord should not have carelessly left the tools and the nails in their construction area for children to get hurt, and the landlord should be responsible for medical bills, pain and suffering of the tenant's child that got hurt.
The tenants wife should not have directly insulted the landlord because of her anger, threats and words she exchanged with the landlord, the landlord seeing that she ran back inside the house may have assumed she ran to get her husband, get a gun or get her own machette. Women do say things and do things in the heat of anger when it comes to their children. The husband and wife are also responsible for looking after their children at all times so they were neglectful when their child entered a danger zone.
The landlord had no right to use a weapon against his tenant unless he was trying to defend himself against the tenant or tenants.
The tenant should have moved out since August. If the tenant moved out when they were supposed to move out or pay their rent when they were supposed to pay their rent, there will be no rancur among themselves.
Landlord need the money to maintain their buildings and take care of their families as well. If you are a tenant and you have signed a lease, honour your lease. If you cannot pay, please move out. Landlords are people as well. The illegal tenants have been occupying that space for an additional 4 months without paying.
How much heart do you need the landlord to have? Give you free rent?
The tenants had four months grace to make up the remainder of the rent and they still do not pay.
