Living next door to a drug infested apartment complex. Would love to help out property manager screen and evict his troubled tenants. Anyone have any advice on the best way to monitor the rental unit to make sure they are keeping the property in good use. Any screening agents and tools are appreciated.

Generally people with substance abuse have "issues" in ALL areas of their lives -- so your neighbor the PM needs to start inspecting and enforcing all the current lease provisions. Are tenants late on the rent? -- give notice or evict. Are apartments not being maintained in a sanitary manner? Again, give notice, inspect, and evict for non-compliance with lease provisions. Ditto for unauthorized residents. We require residents register their cars with us and monitor the cars in our parking lot -- a good way to watch for unauthorized tenants.
Cleaning up the complex will involve lots of "re-homing" of current tenants, cleaning up and improving the property and renting to new tenants with strict screening criteria in place.
