Is a court ordered eviction the only way to force a tenant out of a property after their lease has expired? We gave this tenant a 45-day notice in writing that we would not be renewing their lease. We cannot prove it, however we are quite certain there is plenty of drug activity going on in this apartment, not to mention they are constantly disturbing other tenants with screaming.
this property is located in Missouri. Any other ideas, besides court order eviction?
Eviction is the best and preferred way to legally terminate a tenant that refuses to leave. It insures that the case is "on record", it goes on the tenants record for other landlords to see and protects you in the event they should try to return.
