if i was a landlord.. like i plan to be.. I find couple of information about tenants rights and landlord rights. and frankly its expensive for landlord to be an owner of house, apt buildings because they pay hefty property tax, license fees, etc etc.. (depend which state you are in but in minnesota is required to have landlord license.)
I would evict the tenants.. no matter what's their satus... people always try to make excuse.. if you lose a job.. they should know what to do.. go find a new job.. go to county and get help they'll help. and people's responsibility what my dad taught me.. always have 3 month of income ahead in ur savings account in case of emerency.
landlords are serious business.. they care about their property.. if a kid isn't behaving.. landlord takes this seriously because having things in their property damaged.. then its a costly expense... having neighboor complaining the noise, etc etc.. means landlord have to take it seriously because if it keeps going.. the neighboor will quit and move out of apt or so.. means landlord lose money.
but landlord are required to give notice of evict.. they cannot do it right away unless its serious issue like drug related.
