How Can I get this Tenant Out?!

[Hal Cranmer]

Hi -

I have a triplex with a 1BR unit rented by a single guy who is away a lot working construction in other states. Recently he told two girls that they could stay in his place while he was away as long as they paid rent. He's a great tenant so I figured it would be fine for a couple of months.

Well now one of the girls has become totally disruptive. I have come into the place several times that she has been drunk, she invites homeless people in with pit bulls, and argues with the other girl enough that they call the cops on a regular basis. The other tenants in the building are regularly complaining.

I have asked her to leave but she says she has been paying rent and will not leave.

The disruptive girl has not paid rent this month so I have had my lawyer start the eviction process. I don't have a lease with her - just the guy. But my lawyer says I have a verbal lease with her because she has been paying rent. My written lease says no pets unless we have a written pet agreement (which we don't) but my lawyer says that is not really relevant.

I have a verbal agreement with her that she will leave this weekend, and I have it confirmed via text messages. I tried to give her a written piece of paper saying this but she would not sign it. My lawyer says this is good enough to constitute a contract based on giving her 'consideration' in the form of releasing her from liability in exchange for leaving this weekend.

Now I'm hearing from the other girl and guy that she told them she is staying. She has not told me that. She has said she will pay the rent. Do I have to accept the rent and wait another month and a half (full rent cycle) to kick her out? How fast can I process an eviction (anyone know about Minnesota)? I just want her out and to take care of my other tenants. Anyone have any advice?

Definitely the last time I let guests stay like this.

Thanks for any help and sorry for the long post.
