When it comes to getting rid of neighborhood drug dealers or unsavory activity that affects your investment, I like Rule #15: Always work as a team.For various (often silly) reasons, we shy way from working with neighboring landlords and property owners.

There is neighbor resistance to special needs, particularly when you are talking about violent behavior, sexual behavior, drug & alcohol treatment, or prison halfway houses.

Drugs and booze, sexual preditors and all the undesirable factions will be lumped into the category as those being served.

I had drug DISTRIBUTORS (a level above dealing), a murdered tenant, etc.

As David said, big salaries are like a drug, I know many in my industry that stayed in jobs they didn't like for years just for the salary and could never cut the cord.

Another issue is drug usage, sale or manufacturing are sufficient grounds for an automatic termination, in fact here, it's an immediate set out but the landlord will need to prove it.You do have the right to enter for repairs, treading lightly on the tenants right to quiet enjoyment, but things can be miserable to the point of a tenant wanting to break a lease too.The story of an Executive Director of a housing authority property is true, where he removed the front door to make repairs to it and the tenant left.

This time it's drug/alcohol rehab.

The street had more than one drug vending house.

Part of the qualification is not being arrested for drug violations by any memebr of the household.

I'm thinking NNN (fast food joints, banks, drug stores), self-storage, strip malls.
