| Boarder is seen on live camera - Using my horses alfalfa instead of buying their own but continually says oh yeah I'm going to pick some up. Has been out for 2 weeks now. Today is the first day I actually saw this but had been wondering why I was going through my bales so fast....
and the list goes on....
1 - does not pay on time and definitely does not pay if they are not reminded even though they know they owe it each month.
2 - borrows items but never returns them (if I am not using the bit, sheet, blanket, etc.) then this boarder seems to feel the right to use and continue to use.
3 - if the boarder is asked to do something and does not do it, they come up with 100 reasons why they didn't get it done and even goes as far as blaming you for not getting it done.
so many more things to list but I will leave it at that.
Opinions please!

Location: The best kept secret in TX | This should be a no brainer. There are far better boarders who will pay more and pay on time. They aren't even your friened if you think they are, because friends don't do that to friends. BYE FELICIA! 
Also, Welcome to BHW  |

I would be telling them to move then, stealing is so wrong and this is what I call stealing.. Camera's dont lie, you are losing money, sounds like you are just to darn nice, give them boot  |

| Set them straight, or tell them they have to go! Everything you listed is unreasonable to deal with. |

| I also board horses. I would give them a 30 day notice. Do you have a boarding contract? |

Well he/she is taking advantage of you, you must be really nice to be putting up with someone like this..Sorry for being right to the point but they need to be gone like last month.  |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | 2Hearts - 2015-11-09 3:27 PM Yes was a friend so I thought. Hugs to you but they are using you... If there is no contract I would give them a 24 hour notice... If there is a contract i'd give them a 30 day notice and warn them that if they steal your hay within that 30 day period their horse will be tied to the front gate and you'll sell whatever possesions are left to compensate yourself for the hay bill. (Given, you don't have to go that far, but it should scare her enough that she won't steal again.)
Maybe she thought $75/month and YOU supplied feed/hay? Either way, I feel like you should clarify next time a friend moves in to save yourself the head ache. And for sure get a written contract!

Location: North Dakota | Even if you have a contract, THEFT should void it.
If you want to be the "good guy" you could give them 30 days to find a new place for their 3 horses. But stealing is stealing. If they don't mind stealing hay from you, imagine what else they might steal when they know you are giving them the boot!
I'd also remind them you have camera's all over the place.
Honestly, I'd tell them to leave now. Stealing is not acceptable. I'd also charge them late fees for when the board is late.
Could also charge them for the alfalfa they've been stealing that you will have to replace.

Then give them the boot and a bill for what you know they stole.
I might even look into a boarding lein (I think that is what it called). Gives you the right to sell the horses to recoup the money they have not paid. |

Location: White Mountains of AZ | I'd make them replace they hay they "took" for starters. And definitely get them outta there! They obviously have no respect and sadly, alot of "friends" can be like this :( but no reason for you to bend over backwards just for them to walk all over you ! |
