Difficult inherited tenant
Hello everyone, I recently bought a property with inherited tenant and, she wants to drive me crazy. I have done many repairs since I bought the property but she keeps complaining for every little thing. Last week she broke 2 windows and called the code inspection. She claimed that someone threw a rock and broke the windows, in the meantime, my handyman was in the neighborhood and witnessed her breaking the windows and threw out clothes, it seemed like she was fighting with her husband. I am going to change the windows but what can I do to prevent that in the future, I did put on the lease if she breaks something, she will be charged but if she denies to be the one doing the damage, legally will I be able to charge her for repairs. I want to evict her but my lawyer said that as long she continues to pay her rent, it will be hard to evict her.

Require that she file a police report if she wants to say its vandalism. One can tell if the window was hit from the inside or outside generally.
