Topic:
Can I evict a Tenant for Violence?

Hi.

I have a 2 unit property and the upstairs tenants are constantly fighting.

This evening the basement tenant called the cops because they heard screaming and knocked on the door to find the girl covered in blood, holding a knife.

She had stabbed her boyfriend.

The basement tenants are scared for their safety as they have an 8 year old daughter living in the house.

What am I legally allowed to do?.

Can I evict the upstairs people, file a restraining order against one of them?

I have a responsibility to provide a safe living environment for my downstairs tenant.
