Tactics For Removing Tenants

[Steven Embree II]

I live in Los Angeles and, as most homeowners working in rent-controlled areas can relate to, having renters in a unit paying excessively low rent can be a pain. While I want to be fair to my tenants, I didn’t sign up to subsidize their housing. So my question is as follows:

What are some of the individual tactics that you’ve used, or would potentially use, to induce a vacancy?

I have some examples listed below:

1. Eviction

2. No Fault Eviction

3. Cash for Keys

4. Just ask?

Are there any other recommended ways that have worked for you or do you have a creative alternative that is legal and points ethically north?

Thanks for your thoughts, everyone.
