Fraudulent Tenant Help

[Jeremy Ackerman]

I am new to being a landlord. For reference, I own two single family homes and a duplex that I rent. Recently, I found out one of my tenants applied using a fake identity. This person is also violating the lease by having an extra person and a dog live with them. Is there an easy way to terminate the lease and evict them?

Follow the procedures for eviction and make sure you name the person on the lease and all occupants (ie literally write 'all occupants').  If you know for sure they stole someone's identity, you could also let the police know.
