Tenant dealing drugs

[Sean Prestia]

I’ve owned a duplex in upstate NY for about 5 years. I’ve had several great tenants over the years but most recently I’ve had complaints from the neighbors and second floor tenants (before they moved out last month) about drug use and possible dealing out of the first floor of the house. I’m in the process of renovating the second floor and getting ready to put the house up for sale in July. What are my options in regards to the first floor tenant? I obviously don’t condone drug use in the house and don’t want him scaring away prospective buyers. One of the neighbor is friends with a local cop who said the house is being watched for drug activity. Is there anyway I can get this tenant out of the house before buyer start coming in to look at it?
