Has anyone been successful with a nuisance eviction in Erie County, NY where a tenant has damaged property, committed crimes, harassed another tenant, etc?

Can you share your experiences even if you attempted one and not been successful?

Have you been successful removing a tenant another way besides eviction?

    Right now courts are closed so even if you have a 100% winning case, you will have to wait. Cases from March 2020 haven’t been processed. 

    Another way: swallow your pride and try cash for keys. 

    Good luck.

    Hey Alisa. Buffalo City Court and some town courts are actually accepting petitions or orders to show cause for nuisance evictions in situations where a tenant is causing an unsafe environment for other tenants, the landlord or the property. I have one building where a tenant was arrested with a gun and am in the process. I was just wondering if anyone on here had completed one yet. Thank you for the response though!
