easy, insurance policy, lighter fuel and lighter

Start by contacting them for a Landlord inspection so you can see what sorts of "repairs" they have been doing to your property...I assume...without permission! Be as calm and cordial as you can manage...for this...you want them to SHARE information with you. If you don't know a lot about home repairs, take someone you trust along to assess the situation. The drug use alone pretty much makes it necessary for you to give them a 30-day notice...otherwise, you risk loosing your property if they get busted! Then, once you have inspected (and had someone along who can write you a free estimate with you too!!!) you send them a written 30-day notice to VACATE. Include with this notice an estimate for any repairs you will need to make as a result of THEIR "IMPROVEMENTS," IF their work was not to code or has created problems that could result in the property being UNINHABITABLE or otherwise hard to rent after they are gone...REMEMBER in most states that I am aware of, you can not use the deposit towards rent that is due...it is only to be applied to DAMAGE done to your property by the tenant and you need to supply receipts for your repairs to fix the damage. Your home-owners insurance may ALSO be used to fix repairs if the deposit alone won't cover them and then you can also sue for damages and loss of rent too..if they have jobs then you may well get your money back to cover the repairs...and don't forget...your home owners insurance WILL likely have a deductible that must be met, for each individual claim of damage...they take it off of the check they write you. YOU don't have to come up with the deductible. Unless you either have had excessive claims or have a really rotten insurance carrier...this should not effect your rates, this is partly what you PAY your carrier to insure against! Be sure you MAIL the paperwork....Certified, Return receipt requested...if you know where they work, you can also send copies THERE TOO...you want to have proof that they received notice! If they refuse you may have to get the local Marshall to help you get them out. However, if they decide to WITHHOLD rent after receiving the notice...better yet! Because then you can probably go to the court house and file a THREE-DAY OR QUIT notice against them to SPEED UP their ENFORCED DEPARTURE! (This helpful little paper means they have three days to pay their rent that is due...OR GET OUT!) NOTE: If you decide to use your insurance...do not ACCIDENTALLY double dip! It works like THIS: FIRST...before starting any repairs, call the insurance company to come review and take photos of the damage SECOND...you take from the Tenant's deposit...Third the Insurance company will tell you which parts of the damage THEY will cover...beyond what the deposit you kept from the tenant...THEN...if there is still money owed to you...after the deposit and after the insurance checks have been paid to you...INCLUDING ANY DEDUCTIBLES THEY TOOK OFF of the checks paid...THAT REMAINING AMOUNT IS WHAT YOU CAN THEN CHOOSE TO SUE THE TENANT FOR IN COURT (Small Claims most likely, easy and less expensive, unless the amount is over the total allowed in Small Claims...which may be about $5000...check it changes from time to time.) Good luck!

Eviction Notice. call your local police for instructions. Are they renting/leasing legally by a contract? if so, you may need an attorney. If they are violating the law, call the police and let them handle it.
