Q & A with Properties West

Q) My tenant, without my permission, installed a satellite dish on my roof. Wires are run from the dish, down the side of my building and a hole was cut into the wall to run the wire through. I am really outraged at my tenant's behavior. What is my best course of action?

A) You should serve on your tenant a "3-Day Notice to Perform or Quit". This notice should require the tenant to remove the satellite dish and the wiring. It should also require the tenant to patch any holes that were created. If the tenant fails to comply within the 3-day period, you would have grounds for eviction.
