[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going to drag out for a long time. It’s been awhile since I’ve brushed up on DC L&T law, but if you can report them to the credit bureaus it might get things moving on their end.

Also, when you’re done, sue for damages and renew the judgment with as many garnishments as you need until they die or flee the country. [/quote]

What happened if you change the lock and put their stuff in a locker?[/quote]

There is a recent DC Court of Appeals decision similar to this. The homeowner locked the unpaying tenant out. Tenant sued and homeowner had to pay damages to tenant.[/quote]

The damage you pay, fingers crossed could be less than the hassle with non paying “tenant” that stays for years.[/quote]

Unlawful eviction in dc can be criminally prosecuted. I am an dc real estate attorney and represented a condominium board of directors many years ago who were told by their counsel that they could lock someone out of their unit. Criminally arrested. And they were following the written advice of counsel. [/quote]
