Even if the police tell you that a tenant is committing a drug Offense, under Ohio law you could them immediate 3 day notice for drugs but  you'd still have to go through the court eviction process if they they didn't just move out on their own (even if the police took them off to jail, you'd have to go through the eviction process to legally get back possession of your unit).

Yikes no offense to the realtor, but that's horrible advice.

I just draw the line with certain types of crimes or recent trends or multiple drug or DUI offenses. 

Take offense if you said no.

I never enforce late fees for the first offense if the tenants have been good up to that point and contact me ahead of time with what seems to be a one time problem

And the state will continue to fine them..1k is for you first offense.. the 5k was because we had a buyer go bat crazy on us.. and that is the max fine.. but if I did it again it could become criminal.also in the fire ravaged areas of Nor Cal..

All "quality of life" offenses (drinking in public, public urination, aggressive panhandling, graffiti, vandalism, trespassing, loitering for the purpose of engaging in drug sales etc.)

Amy T, no offense meant to you, just a little surprising how quick people are to throw out advice but few take the time to actually learn the law.

(No offense to people in or from Detroit) To give a good example of the market, we purchased a 3 - Unit building on March 1st 2016 100% occupied for $36,000.

@Shane H.I get it, no offense taken.
