Tenant Living in Garage/Shop!

[Chris Hertig]

We recently purchased a multi-family property and have someone living illegally in an uninhabitable, detached garage.  He continues to deny he lives there, lied to the police when they came with a code violation and inspection, and most recently overloaded the electrical and blew/snapped the line!  All this in addition to 6 other lease violations... 

Unfortunately, the previous owners used the same lease for this garage space as they used for the residential units.  Does anyone know how or if evictions from a utility space/garage differs from a residential eviction?  

Thank you!
