Contact a lawyer in the said area.

You have to go through a legal path that depends on the county and state you live in. You have to first give notice of termination of rent, they have so long to reply, then if they do not move out you have to eventually go to court and get an eviction notice that is only to be served by the sheriff dept. It usually takes around 30 days to get someone out legally and if you try to move them out all they have to do is drop dime and you will be spending the night in jail. I have forced people out by telling them I know they have warrants out for arrest and I just called the police and they move fast. But in general you have to follow legal means to move someone out. Its hard because they can do a certain amount of damage and it is not considered vandalism, but wear and tear. They can dump grease down pipes and the like. Now with legal advocacy groups helping the poor, they have free attorneys and you have to pay.

Do it now, because if what I've heard is right, it's impossible to move them out when it gets cold.

Is this a great country or what? Do you think for one minute that all these protections are not noticed by the "poor" and taken full advantage of? There ought to be a law against subsidized rent. If you can't afford rent, find a friend to mooch off of. If you're so poor you can't pay rent AND you have no friends? Well, you haven't been living right and need to change. Either get a job, a better paying job, or start being nicer to prospective suckers that you intend to use for your source of shelter.

Pretty much. I, for one, actually LIKE living in a country where people's legal rights are protected by one standard that everyone is held to...even if they're, you know...poor (shudder). Just me.

If you were on the other end, the end where the laws are made to aid those who don't pay, if would be a different story. What about the legal rights of the person providing housing, dealing with the issues that come along with many of the tenants who use such programs?

But yeah, it's best to know these things before going into landlording. If you don't know, contact an attorney and get the ball rolling.

Then you would be a perfect candidate to be a landlord, no? That way you can contribute your money to the beloved poor people who see no reason to pay you because the law is on their side, while at the same time demolishing your property.
