    Default Eviction For Unpaid Rent Gone Wrong

    Hello,

    I have a story for you guys!

    My tenant signed a 1 year lease with me last year in September. Last week I recieved a letter from him stating that I had verbally promised that I would extend his lease for 1 more year and also, put up hurricane shutters and he was going to sue me for a verbal promise ( Im from Florida by the way). This guy owes me 2 months rent and is now blackmailing me that If i don't agree to extend the lease as I promised or put up hurricane shutters he is going to file a civil suit on me for breach of verbal agreements ( Which i never made).

    THe problem is that I told him to look for hurricane shutter estimates and if they were not too expensive I would put them up. When he came up with the estimates they were super expensive and I told him no.

    Now he comes up with this BS saying, extend the lease like you promised, or evict me and lose months of rent and I will commence a civil suit for all you are worth.
    Isnt that blackmail?

    So does it make a difference that our contract is in writing and that we have a signed lease and not a verbal one? I thought that if there was a president set(signed lease) everything had to be in the lease for it to count, besides that I never promised him anything and he has no proof.

    Do you think he has a case against me? Can I recover my rent and monies lost, I have already spent $750 to commence eviction.

    Confused and fustrated, I WISH I COULD GO OVER THERE AND THROW HIS THINGS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You should have started the eviction for non payment process about SEVEN WEEKS ago or more!!! Call a local LL eviction law firm ASAP. NEVER wait TWO MONTHS to start eviction for non payment!
