I just bought a multi family property in Syracuse, NY and one of the tenants is a real issue. He is smoking in the building and has a cat (both of these are in violation of his lease) he scares the other tenants and is always intoxicated. Can I evict him for violating the lease? If so do I need any proof?

Yes you can evict on violations but it can be tough. You need pictures of the cat and smoking and then send the violation letter according to your landlord-tenant code (in DE we have to give them a written 7 day notice to correct violation with proof of mailing) When is his lease up? Might be quicker if it expires soon. Of course if he's on month to month I'd give notice right away.

Good luck.

Lease doesn’t expire tell November. When you say pictures of the smoking what do you mean? What would work for proof of smoking?

Hi!

I'm planning to enter the real estate market in Syracuse, NY. I'm relocating from Boston, MA, and have started the process of purchasing a small multi-family home. I'm looking for someone familiar with the area who is willing to answer questions I have.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
