How Can I Remove Outdated Tenant Listings from Google for My Property?
Asked Mar 8, 20170 views1 answer
I own the property at [REDACTED ADDRESS], but an old tenant is still listed on Google at my address, specifically under "Whispers" and "Miss Heavens Brothels." I need these names removed as the new tenant is "Cougars." It feels fraudulent for the previous tenants to continue using my address, as it constitutes false advertising of their business at my property. I have the deeds to this property and do not rent to them anymore. Please assist in removing their names as soon as possible. Thank you. [REDACTED NAME]
