AZ, notice removal of personal property that is in violation city safety?
Background-
I have a tented in my house and he accepted a roommate in the back of the house in the mother-in-law. The verbal agreement they made was the room with one parking spot only, for 350$ a month + a portion of utilities.
He paid only 3 months but did not pay for the utilities he uses and hasn't paid for 38+ months. He stopped paying right after COVID started and I was unable to do anything until it ended. He takes up all the car parking spots filled with 5 cars/motorcycles, car parts, motorcycles parts, tools, and trash. this extends from the front parking around the house into the back yard and then into the house in rooms that is not his to use. The actual renters have to park on the street. I have been trying to evict him, I have taken him to court 3 times and he has been a no-show each time, but the judge keeps throwing out the case for one thing or another (I even got a lawyer to help without success).
The tenant has informed me of getting a violation of the city safety ordinance for his cars and parts, he refuses to clean it up or to move out.
I am currently in the military living in Japan. I had a property manager when he moved in, but they keep neglecting everything except collecting rent, they cost me 8k$+ in repairs for neglecting/following up on the maintenance, so I got rid of them and am working with the tenants. Thank you RentRedi, so I can now manage it myself.
Question-
What can I do if the city won't let me evict him or get rid of his stuff as the city is also telling me that I need to have that stuff cleaned up or face a heavy fine, I'm trying to look up a temple for notice of removal of personal property but I'm having trouble figuring it out?
