Can a landlord be forced to evict a tenant if the tenant's child has intentionally destroyed a neighbor's property?
I have the misfortune of living near a rental property (house). Last year, a woman with a very unclear family situation moved in. She has a 10 year old son. Within a week after she moved in, new plants were missing and torn out of the ground. This has happened on and off during the year. Earlier this year, I caught her brat in my yard, attempting to dig into the plants’ flower bed. I had hoped this would finally end the matter (all circumstantial evidence so far). This morning, I found a plant torn out with most of the leaves removed. I plan to install a surveillance camera to record the next time this happens, and present the cops and the landlord with the proof. My question is this: Can I demand the landlord evict the tenants as being nuisances and possibly a real threat to the safety of my home? I don’t want to be reimbursed for the damaged plants, I don’t care if the kid’s got issues, I just want to know that when I leave my house for the day, it looks the same way when I get home.
