A friend of mine did this once. He was friendly with a guy who knew the landlord of the house that was being rented across the street. After the tenants broke a window in his house, he did some research. Seems the landlord that owns the house across the street is in the hospital. On top of that he's one of those landlords that you never meet and has a middleman do the screening and contracts. So he borrowed his bosses porche and went over there and told them he was the landlord and they needed to go. The people never questioned it and actually moved out in 3 days.
How can I pull off something similiar with crazy neighbors of mine that play loud music, leave their barking dogs out all hours of the night, and party guests pissing on my lawn???
Not Kidding Here.

Refering to answer one.
I understand the landlord can be sued but I am a private citizen with abolutely no ties to the landlord or the property whatsoever, then the anything that happens to the landlord is none of my concern.

Well if those folks your friend evicted ever find out all they have to do is file a complaint with the cops and have your friend arrested for identity theft and then once the arrest record is established those folks can sue your friend for the damages incurred from them having to move under false pretenses. And if proven in a court of law that indeed your friend did this he'll get free room and board from the state and will not need a lease agreement to stay there.
If your neighbors are really hassling you or making your life miserable your municipality has laws that you can use to put an end to it. Just call the code enforcement department of your municipality's land use division, explain what's going on and they'll tell you to call the cops then get a copy of the report and give it to them so they can contact the property owner. Let somebody else do the dirty work legally.

What your friend did was illegal. He should be glad he managed to get away with it and the real landlord didn't press charges against him.
Most cities have a noise ordinance and also have nuisance ordinances. If the music is playing too loud or at an unreasonable time of night, call the police. Same with the dogs. If they're barking all night, call the police. If party guests are pissing on your lawn, call the police.
Check your county records and find out who the owner of the property is and write them a letter complaining about the noise, various problems, etc. coming from his property. I would guess there may be some sort of legal action you could take against the owner since they are his tenants.
Get your ducks in a row though. Get out your camera and take photos of anything going on over there so you can actually prove what you are saying. If you just make a bunch of phone calls to the police for little reason, they aren't going to take you seriously when there is a big problem.

don't even try..... what you are doing is against the law and you could also be sued. instead take pictures and notes, call the police and contact the landlord. most city's have nuisance laws that after a set amount of police calls to a residence the landlord can be fined. so it is in the landlords best interest to evict the troublemaker.this may take a few months but that is the way it should be done.hope this helps I'm a landlord myself and have no problem evicting people like that before it turns into a nuisance.

He may be very lucky he wasn't sued. If the tenants had a lease, a legal eviction has to go through the courts and requires at least a 30 day notice. Even without a lease, a 30 day notice is usually required. If the now former tenants decided to, they could sue him and the landlord for many times the cost of moving and finding a new place. Stupid act without thinking about the consequences.
