Bad tenets
I just bought a 2 flat in the Chicago area and I have some bad tenets they pay they're rent but they have a bunch of people coming in out of there unit and hanging out in front of the building not sure how to go about this. I just don't want a lot of people coming in and out of building and hanging outside.

Rather than having a fight between you and the tenants, I would just have someone post a "no loitering" sign in that area. If you ever notice people (non tenants) loitering afterward, call the police and have charges pressed against them. Also, encourage other tenants to do the same. I would also have a 3rd party (a manager) be the person filing the complaint so as to keep a decent relationship between me and the tenants. A third party to "blame" or refer to is extremely powerful.
