Sadly, I would proceed as though they are lying to you.


A close family member is going through an infuriating ordeal with some truly scumbag tenants. Not only did the tenants tell boldface lies regarding multiple violations of their lease, but the absolutely worthless property manager believed every single one of them and rather than actually do her job and make quarterly inspections to confirm the violations for herself, she took the tenants' word and allowed the abuses to continue unchecked, to the tune of at least $30k-$40k in damages.

My advice from an outsider's perspective is to assume the absolute worst about your tenants and prepare as if you are going to have to evict them. Hopefully it will prove to be much ado about nothing, but having seen how badly it can turn out otherwise, I don't think you can ever be too careful. I realize that eviction may not be possible right now, but I would document every case of late/non-payment now so that in the future when evictions become enforceable, you have a mountain of evidence on your side should you choose to pursue that avenue.

Good luck.
