  • you should have checked the references before contracting them. Did you take a safety deposit? I hope so. Unfortunately you cannot evict them due to what you now know, they have to do something wrong, or the house has to be sold or whatever.
  • That answer may not be correct. Did you have them fill out a rental application? Did they sign a lease? If yes to both, check the lease verbage at the end where they make a statement that everything they've provided is true. In the rental application it should (we hope) ask them if they've ever been evicted. If they've lied on the rental application and your lease has a clause that invalidates the lease if the tenant has lied, you may have grounds for immediate eviction. Beauty of that is no long, drawn out process. They violated the terms; often it's 30 days. Either way, if you go this route, prepare to speak with your lawyer and use a constable to deliver all notices. Judges pummel landlords who violate procedure! Good luck!
  • It all depends on where you live.You can start the process by giving them a "30 day Notice".This is not really an eviction; it is just "asking" them to move and a lot of tenants know this. You have to go to court to legally evict someone. You don't have to have a reason in some places to give them a "30 day notice" so you should check your local laws. You have to have a valid reason to evict them in court. It sounds like these people know how to play the game and you need to start using an application process to select prospective tenants.
