If a landlord rents to the wrong person in this day and age then they will lose there shirt. Most landlords are going to wait at least a month before even trying to evict someone. Then they have to get a lawyer and maybe pay him $1000.00 or more, and give a 30 day eviction. If the person is on public assistance then they get a team of lawyers for free that you have to pay your lawyer to fight a bunch of frivolous stuff that they make up. Even if they just ignore the 30 day eviction then you have to go to court to get if enforced and judge will give them some more time. In the mean time the tenant retaliates by vandalizing your property. Maybe even calling the health department and claiming that the damage they caused is your fault. If they do this early on then you can't evict them because then you will fined for retaliation. In any case you are likely to lose at least 3 months rent, have tons of lawyer fees, retaliation damage to fix. Deviants are protected. Many of them make it a way of life. They are called "Professional Tenants". They go from one place to another doing this.

A friend in Cali rented a house to a guy who seemed to have solid references. Within a few months the rent stopped. When she tried to evict, he had filed for bankruptcy which gave him a YEAR before she could move on it. When the year was up his WIFE filed for bankruptcy. Guess what? Another year. Meanwhile this poor hardworking ER nurse had to pay the mortgage, taxes and all the utilities. Some deal huh?
