What's a life lesson you learned the hard way that you'd want to share with others to help them avoid the same mistake? (lemmy.world)

Could also try bribing them. My brother owned a condo for a bit, until he got frustrated with bad tenants. When he needed one to leave, he found bribing them the best answer, even with very little tenant protection where he lives. If you start eviction proceedings, now you have a pissed off tenant in your property who can do any amount of damage that will be expensive to repair. Instead, he’d say “I’ll give you $200 to be out next weekend” and it worked pretty well while being cheaper than legal proceedings

That's also a great idea. We could offer him the likely cost of legal proceedings. Ugh. Never again.
