Colonial Property

When the Neighbors Complained About the Smell, the Landlord Thought It Was Just Trash Day…
By colonialproperty June 19, 2025

It wasn’t.

The tenant—quiet, polite, always paid on time—had turned the apartment into a health hazard.

Piles of food. Rotten garbage. Stacked boxes to the ceiling.

And it wasn’t just gross—it was dangerous:
– Fire risk
– Vermin
– Structural hazards


The Landlord Was Overwhelmed.

Could they evict?
Would the tenant sue?
What were their rights?


Here’s How We Stepped In—And Resolved It Without a Courtroom:

1. We documented everything.
Photos, dates, reports—so if it did go legal, we were ready.

2. We served a proper violation notice.
Customized to local law, with clear deadlines and expectations. No vague threats.

3. We opened a conversation.
Calm. Non-confrontational. We gave the tenant a way out—without humiliation.

4. We offered a structured move-out plan.
With clean-out support and a neutral third party to help them relocate.

5. We turned over the unit in 3 weeks.
No legal fees. No drama.


Firm. Legal. Calm.

That’s how you handle extreme lease violations.

Some panic.
Some avoid confrontation.

We do neither.


We protect your asset and your reputation—because this business is more than bricks and leases.
