Evicting a knife wielding tenant in New York
Got a call yesterday from the cops about an altercation at one of my properties. That was a first. Turns out my property manager was trying to get one of my tenants to pay some of their back rent. The tenant pulled a knife on him. Another tenant saw this and punched the knife weilding one in the face and took the knife. Then the previously knife weilding tenant called the cops on them for trespassing... Can I evict them for this? The property doesnt have a mortgage so I think the national stuff doesn't apply but I'm less certain about local laws. If I can't evict them am I allowed to not renew their lease or something? Or would that be prohibited too?
