I know it is deemed "illegal" in many municipalities to change the locks to force an evicted tenant out, but how does this apply to a month to month tenant who has been delinquent in paying rent, has had the police called on him for domestic abuse against his partner, and is engaging in the manufacture and distribution of illegal narcotics from his rented unit? I know that if he refuses to leave, I would have to get the marshall involved, which would bring negative attention to my home, but can I lock him out legally if he refuses to leave peacefully? He's already been arrested for insurance fraud by torching his vehicle and a number of other illegal activities. I simply want him out without a confrontation or having to throw him out by force.
