Tenant Possibly Selling Hard Drugs

[Nathan Estochen]

Hi all,

I have a 3 unit multifamily in not the best area. One of my tenants has been complaining the past couple months that my inherited tenant has frequent comings and goings of people that look like drug fiends exhibiting drug fiend behavior such as banging on the door at very early/late times as if uninvited.

I haven't acted on it because I have no proof. But last night the police responded to an overdose at the property. 

Has anyone dealt with a situation like this? Does the overdose give me any leverage in working towards an eviction?

Evicting in the middle of winter in Massachusetts obviously isn't preferable - any advice as to aggressively pursuing eviction or maybe stalling?

Thanks!
