Our latest eviction is taking place in Hialeah. This is not a regular eviction. The landlord is evicting his own son in law. The landlord is very upset that afer his daughter left her husband four months ago the husband stayed in the property. The tenant stayed in the premises refusing to leave and refusing to pay rent. The father had no other choice but to evict his own son in law.
At first the landlord thought of taking the law in his own hands. He was protecting his daughter like a tiger and was ready to physically take the tenant out and make him pay for his actions. He wanted to disconnect the water, shut down the electricity, among other things. His own daughter convinced him that it was better to hire someone and go through the eviction process. We started the eviction paperwork right away after he contacted us.
I started the eviction immediately. The landlord was desperate in the beginning and wanted to get the tenant out right away. The son in law has refused to leave in several occasions and has refused several offers made to him by the landlord. The tenant informed everyone he will not leave the property and will wait until the end. The only way the tenant will leave is when the Sheriff evicts him.
We are now in the final process of the eviction process. The judge already signed the Writ of Possession and we are waiting for the Sheriff. We will accompany the Sheriff to the premises. We will change the locks and take possession of the property. The father/landlord can’t wait. He wants me to call him first so he can meet us at the property and witness the eviction. He wants the personal satisfaction of watching and being part of the eviction.
Do not take the law in your own hands. Don’t gamble and let your emotions get the better of you. It is not worth it. Do the eviction the right way. Don’t make a stupid mistake in a heated moment that you will regret later. We will evict, fix, rent and collect. We will evict the non-paying tenant, fix and repair the property, rent the property to a good paying tenant and collect the rent for you every month.

Important post on a sensitive subject. Your advice certainly applies to folks outside of the Hialeah area. Thanks for sharing.

Wow - some pretty unpredicatable situations you must run into! I am a social worker and certainly agree to NEVER take the law into your own hands!
