The age old question. Here the electrical company does NOT cut off the power unless directed. So if the people just beat feet it is a hard call. Even if they know the former tenants are not there it is left on.brm1109 said:I usually go by if we are in doubt we call it occupied.
1. Electric on - occupied
2. grass cut - occupied
3. One house I saw the laundry folded on the dryer and the elect. was on. I called it as occupied and the company disagreed.
I try to stay away from doing evictions.they away seem to be a big question to how many poeple to bring. If I bring 5 or 6 guy there is hardly anything there. If I bring only 2 or 3 guy there`s so much u can`t get it all out in a day.GTX63 said:Had one where the broker (not us) rekeyed all doors during the redemption.
3 months later we get a call to go to the property and meet the sheriff for an eviction. He saw that all the locks had been changed prior and cancelled the order, cited the broker and contacted the client.
As far as we know, she no longer gets any foreclosure listings.
Pre sale, you cannot deny access.

Yes start by drilling until break outerskin of deadbolt, then use screwdriver to pry it out so you can grab with pliers,remove out skin of deadbolt and there will a metal plate you can remove. after this is remove you will see holes for mounting screws! hope this helpsMKM Landscaping said:I am having same problem I have been trying and trying to get into a brinks deadbolt and am having no luck,any suggestions?
that's the way I do it too. You can drill to break the skin or use a hammer and screwdriver. placing the flathead screwdriver at a very steep angle down the face of the lock. peel the outer skin off and get that plate out.STARBABY said:Yes start by drilling until break outerskin of deadbolt, then use screwdriver to pry it out so you can grab with pliers,remove out skin of deadbolt and there will a metal plate you can remove. after this is remove you will see holes for mounting screws! hope this helps

For me, until I figured them out, schlage locks were the worst. But, I found a website that sells safe drilling drill bits. That's safe as in that big box with the combination lock. They are hardened and make quick work of drilling out the lock mechanism on those schlages.
