Valid and Legal Reasons to Evict a Tenant
I hear all the time about evicting tenants for non-payment of rent. I even (unfortunately) had to do it myself once. But has anyone reading this ever successfully evicted a tenant for a reason other than non-payment?
I got to thinking about this because I looked at a multifamily property today. On one side of it, the guy had basically filled up his yard with various junk. It looked like a junk yard. He had two satellite dishes attached to his side of the house, both with wires hanging from them, attached to nothing. Lastly, he had what looked like a 15 meter mast on the roof, complete with guy wires that were secured to the roof somehow.
I don't think I'm going to buy this particular property, but hypothetically could I tell the guy to clean it all up and then evict him if he didn't?
