Evicting a violent tenant

Christopher Eddy
Posted

I bought a duplex in a good neighborhood for a Fair price. The only problem is, it came with a horrible tennant in one unit!!!!!  He's disturbing the neighbors at night and when I asked him to please stop, he became much worse and actually pounded holes in the wall, I told him I was going to start the eviction process and he began screaming at  me and ended up busting out a basement window the following day.  I have now began the eviction process but the local magistrate office said it could take up to two months. Does anyone know if I can remove him faster for his violent behavior?

    I would also pay a sheriff to go with you-one that is off duty.  If problems arise, he can arrest the tenant.
