A man recently moved into an apartment on another man’s property on Jenkins Road. The property owner felt the situation was not working out and wanted the man to leave. The owner offered the man all of his money back to leave. The officer told both men that CPD doesn’t evict tenants. The officer also told the property owner if he wanted to officially evict the man, he would have to go to the Hamilton County Courthouse. The officer made the man aware that if he made the property owner go through the eviction process, he likely wouldn’t get any of his money back. The man said he was willing to leave. The property owner gave the officer the man’s money to give to the man, and the officer passed it to him. The man said he was going to pack a few things and leave and would come back the next day to pick up the rest of his things and would leave the key under the mat. The property owner was agreeable to this and requested the man pay him back for a wrecker he had paid for. The man didn’t want to do that, and the property owner said that was fine as well and just wanted the man gone. The man packed a few things and left without incident.
