Tactics For Removing Tenants

[Steven Embree II]

I live in Los Angeles and, as most homeowners working in rent-controlled areas can relate to, having renters in a unit paying excessively low rent can be a pain. While I want to be fair to my tenants, I didn’t sign up to subsidize their housing. So my question is as follows:

What are some of the individual tactics that you’ve used, or would potentially use, to induce a vacancy?

I have some examples listed below:

1. Eviction

2. No Fault Eviction

3. Cash for Keys

4. Just ask?

Are there any other recommended ways that have worked for you or do you have a creative alternative that is legal and points ethically north?

Thanks for your thoughts, everyone.

I would consult your attorney before using some of the above mentioned methods as here in CA, you could easily get sued for some of those.
Asking with your sob story is step 1. Cash for keys offer would be another perfectly legal option.
