Never play around with the rent money or taxes , my cuz and former roommate had us almost evicted , he didn't care about the credit hit cause the rent control apartment was in our aunt's name, when I got home for spring break (I was in college) and found the sheriff's notice at the door since it was NYC and rent control I was able to go to court and pay it.
Had the Judge give me the payment History/breakdown for the last few years (I had only lived there for 8 months) showed that shyt to my aunt who gave me the green light to kick his ass out.
Turns out that breh would pocket the rent money from November till March every year go on a long ass trip down south to floss then pay it with his tax return.
His luck ran out breh was couch surfing and caught an IRS audit for reporting invalid Dependants (even tried adding me as one almost fukking up my schollarship, financial aid and taxes) luckily my coach had a great Accountant that helped straighten that whole thing out for me.
Had to change even the locks for the mail box.
This happened in 2002 . I was going to school for free, working and hussling instead of moving to the bigger room got some plywood/paint and turned that one big room into 2 and rented them to students from a nearby Campus.
Payed rent on time , got along well with building management, Blessed my aunty with most of the profits.
my cuz caught a Fed case and snitched on his friends. Just a low life in general.
Breh got mad when aunty retired and moved to DR and sold the rights to the apartment for mid six figures and she didn't give him shyt , talking shyt from afar cause he couldn't even go to her funeral due to him still not having a Passport after all these years. That was the woman that raised him after his mom took off in the 80's shameful shyt.
