What to do about problem neighbor ?

[Keith Jourdan]

Own a duplex in Westland Michigan . The one side called me today and said she is moving out , lease is up , great tenant . Sad to see her go. She said she is moving out due to the neighbor , the other side of duplex , playing music all night etc . They both pay great , but I just know the loud neighbor will be a problem for any future tenant I move in .neighbor is month to month . Should I evict ? Raise rent to a point where they leave on their own?

In Idaho there is a "quiet enjoyment" clause in leases and supported by state law. If the tenant is great otherwise, why jump to eviction? Talk to them, ask them to knock it off so that they don't put you in a position where you are forced to act. Tell the new tenant on the other side to let you know immediately if this behavior continues. If it does, then you act and the evictee made that choice of their own accord.
