Drug Dealer Problems

[Aaron Van Curen]

I'm new to investing and know a tenant that is either using or dealing drugs can be a big problem. I know Brandon Turner has recommended, from his book, to either ask them to leave, pay them to leave, or evict them. However, I wanted to ask if anyone had advice on just filing a police report on your tenant? Please explain why you would or wouldn't.

@Jeff Filali  mentioned you should Talk to them about their drug activity.. NOT my first rodeo on this subject and I wouldn't suggest a verbal anything.

You don't talk to them you manage the issue by giving them a infraction notice.. You further take it to then next level of eviction if  you have CAUSE.. you Get CAUSE by enforcing the Crime Free / Drug Free addendum.. 

You take the Crime Free / Drug Free class your police precinct offers and this give you the " Certificate that you need to give out the infraction notice on your tenant.. and to file for eviction action for Cause if they violate the drug free clause, or if they have guest that have been on property and are the issue.

Google, Crime Free / Drug Free Addendum and classes in your neighborhood for landlords.
