Nuisance Tenant

Now let’s talk about your tenant. Are they disturbing the peace, conducting loud parties, engaging in criminal activity, harassing other tenants? Or are you getting constant complaints from the neighboring tenants?

Nuisance Eviction

If so, Los Angeles may consider such conduct a nuisance. This will give you legal grounds to start an eviction. If such activity is going on, there are a few important things you want to do as a landlord.

First, make sure you’re documenting as much as you can with the appropriate notices to the tenant, having permitted photos and or videos. Two, obtain all your witness statements earlier on. And three, make any necessary police reports and make sure you maintain copies of those reports.
Now, nuisance evictions are taken very seriously, and we’re here to guide the landlords throughout each step.
