Trouble tenant- police, drugs; time to evict

[Spencer Herrick]

I just purchased a rental last month with a tenant already occupying the property. I was mowing at my rental property today when I was approached by the neighbor of my rental. She was very nice but was concerned that I wasn't aware of what's been happening there. Apparently the police are there on a regular basis, making it very problematic. I stopped at the police station and they gave me 5 police reports since last month. Apparently, there's been 2 drug overdoses there which included one death previous to me taking over the property and it seems that drug activity is a regular part of what goes on there. All in all, I've come to the realization that we are going to have to evict, despite them never being late on rent. I plan on going to Magistrate to file for the eviction. That being said, any other due diligences I can do before I proceed? This is my first rodeo with this. Thanks in advance!
