@Gianni Mancinelli Thanks. Just bought a set of 4 cameras that were affordable, now I am looking for an affordable installer as I don't have time myself.

@Brian Garlington believe it or not, he actually told me he does it very casually. Also not sure what constitutes as proof because believe me, I never knew what smoking meth smelled like til now. Every now and again I can smell it from outside.

@Tim Herman he is not on the lease. As far as I know, the section 8 is indefinitely. When my dad bought the property, she had already been living here for 25 years.

He bought it shortsale with the existing tenants.

2 out of the 3 original tenants have been evicted already, eviction lawyers we've worked with won't touch this one. But since I am living on the property, I am gathering evidence to be able to build a case.

I am wondering if at this point I have a case and I am hoping the moratorium will not be extended.

@Tim Herman I have been trying to contact some. A lot are not taking new cases due to the moratorium. Unfortunately, they have been paying their portion of rent.

I'm a tenant of a 3 unit property that my parents own. I help manage the property. This is in Los Angeles CA.

One of the tenants is a woman on section 8 that was living there when my parents bought the property.

Her son recently got out of jail for biting his baby mother's face. He constantly picks fights with his brother, other tenants, and neighbors. The other tenant believes he slashed his tires because 2 days prior, he had knocked on his door at night and told him to stop messing with his car. This person has told me they smoke meth and is paranoid that his car is going to get stolen and all the neighbors "watch him". He also constantly blocking in the other tenant by parking in the driveway despite signs saying not to do so.

He has a tendency to urinate on the property (by his moms door steps) and comes in and out during odd hours around midnight.

While talking to him, he said "I only do meth". The whole neighborhood hates him for being loud and aggressive.

I recently had 2 instances where I had police respond because he was harassing me, my gf that lives with me, and recently wanted to fight me. I cannot pass by his door to check my mail, or go to the front yard without him harassing me. I am currently trying to figure out how to get a restraining order.

Is there a way I can evict them even though he is not on the lease and his mom is a section 8 tenant? She has been informed of his behavior many times.

I am hopeful that the moratorium will not be extended past June 30th 2021.
