Thought I would update those that gave me good advice not to get involved in this situation.

These folks were serial landlord abusers, counting our eviction they made it three inside twelve months. We had animal protection folks calling me with all kinds of stories.

Lesson learned.

If anyone monitoring this list is leasing land in the Charlotte/Hickory, NC area and gets contacted by someone with a bunch of horses looking to lease some land private message me. These folks are WAY over their heads.
