John can't evict anyone for any reason, the *owner* or the owner's
legal agent would need to go through the courts.... and even for non
payment of rent the judge would very likely give her a court date some
30 days out from the time of filing and then very likely after a court
hearing the judge would give her 60 days to pay all the due rent or
to leave before the sheriff would be ordered to toss her and her stuff
to the curb... I've had enough people evicted to know the process. If
John touches her or her stuff he'd very likely be doing some serious
prison time. Normal brained people vacate the premises before the
sheriff's deputies arrive, and often they wait until the last hour
just to be annoying. Those who are evicted it's typically not their
first eviction and the judges in the county and surrounding counties
know them because those dead beats live that way, usually they are
addicts who don't work but who know the system intimately and how to
milk it.
I've been a landlord for more than forty years, there's nothing
regarding tenants I haven't experienced, several times. John hasn't a
clue what he's in for by owning a rooming house, and with young people
.... and the chummier he is with the tenants the more they will take
advantage (ie. shit on him). The very worst thing a landlord can do
is to live on the same premises with their poverty stricken tenants. I
could actually pity the putz if not for his seriously low IQ.
