Need eviction advice (damage to building, etc)
I have a tenant who has been there over a year and has become addicted to heroine and is causing a lot of problems. I want to evict him ASAP. This is what he has done:
1. A female prostitute lives with him and makes him money.
2. Another man lives with them too.
3. Sells heroine to a constant stream of cars.
4. I get constant noise complaints about them.
5. Damaged his door when he and the prostitute were fighting (I took pictures and fixed the door).
6. Damaged my dryer hose so he could run an extension cord to the basement to steal my electricity (I took pictures).
I gave him notice that I am ending his lease effective June 30. A voucher pays his rent and they will stop after June. #6 above happened last night. I will call the police today. I'm not sure in Ohio if I need a 3-day notice to vacate and not 30 days for #6. I know I can wait until July 1 and evict him but he is tearing up the building and I will lose other tenants if I don't act more quickly. Help.
