oh my god, renters from hell...I'm sorry to hear that, I had the same experience too...took me a while to get them out and took a couple thousands to put the house back in order...and I have some gray hair from that too.
you tell her that you want her out in a month, if it's a month to month lease, don't tell her anything more. and make sure that she pays the rent even on the last month there. do not let her get you into the "use the deposit for the last month's rent"
afterward, you don't give her her deposit back, because that goes into the fixing of the house. take a lot of pictures as you do the last walk through with her for evidence, and make sure she's in it too. good luck.

yes you can evict and simply refuse to renew the lease. In any case they'll probably have 30 days to vacate but by no means renew the lease. Her name is on the lease...she's responsible. but in any case sue them both and let the courts decide. Get the authorities involved when you serve the eviction. When you go to court ask your local police for a list of all calls for service during the time she has lived there. Also try and see if they will give you copies of any reports that were filed (should be public information) and take these to court with you when you go. Keep track of all dates of contact. Phone calls etc. copies of any phone messages left by tenant. In other words...arm yourself...be prepared. Good luck. Follow myohmymy's advice too.

What goes around comes around. I have read several of your questions and answers and must say I am appalled at the hatred you have in your heart. It's nice to know there is some cosmic justice out there, even if it only comes in the form of some busted out drywall. You'll be lucky if you never have to experience the type of emotional pain you inflict on others with your hate filled speech. I pray that you aren't raising your children to live a life filled with anger and hate as well. We all have things, be it physical, emotional, or just lifestyle oriented that cause us to be the targets of ridicule and bigotry. I hate to wish that on any person, but I do hope at some point you get a taste of your own medicine so you can truly feel what you are doing to others. Good luck to your renters, I hope they get at least a few good hammer swings in.

Although laws differ from state to state, i am certain that there is legal recourse for you. A few years ago my husband and I had a similar problem. When we went to court to file an eviction notice, we were informed of the prerequisites in our state. We had met these but had to provide proof that we had warned the person and given her 30 days to correct the situation. You may have to consult an attorney in your area or perhaps do some research on your own to find out your city and state laws

Simply dont renew the lease.The lease offers the option of renewing but dont do it this time.Serve an eviction notice through the landagent and keep a record oftheir address and phone numbers pluscar registration if you need to follow up with action.

No maximum motels and B&B's will provide a maximum of two travelers who would desire to be long previous via 22:30, there are felony limits to the style of human beings staying in a inn room, there are some institutions contained in the £25 a nighttime rooms have been you would be able to flee with it, yet there'll possibly be so plenty greater non human travelers contained in the room!

I suggest doing a walk-through Before having the eviction notice served (or them knowing about it). Also, ask if one or more police officers will accompany you on it, perhaps getting in some of the shots, (esp. --but not only-- if the tenant won't). Then, if more damage occurs Before they get out, do another walk-through with police accompaniment (if possible, the same officer/s).

deffinately evict. you dont want to later find that drugs were involved and then you loose the property... happend to a good friend.
also the person on the lease ( in most places) are responsible for all actions of guests on property invited or not.

You sure can evict her. She is responsible for the condition of the premises (with the exception being pipes, electrical, etc.).
Kick her butt to the curb. You have every legal right to do so. And if she refuses to go, you can get the police to help you move her out.

Yeah, you can evict her. Shes the one living there, and shes responsible for the property while shes there. I would get here out of there as soon as you can, because shes going to cause you to pay a whole lot to fix the place up so you can rent it again. Jehovah will be with you during this matter, and I will be thinking and praying that everything will go smoothly for you my sister!
