Long story short, the co-owner of my home took on a tenant without my permission (legal, unfortunately). She does not live in the home. I'm not getting any portion of the rent and not being paid for use of utilities that I pay in full. I'm not on the lease as a landlord, but the tenant did sign a release of liability for me. The co-owner and I are not on speaking terms, my lawyer has advised me not to engage with her at all, and she lives across the country.
It's been just under a week and the tenant has punched holes in a door, had guests over every night, uses items that don't belong to him after being told to stop, has been loud and disturbing everyone else in the house as late as 3-4am, has thrown items belonging to me from a hallway into a spare room, and is honestly probably selling drugs from the convos I overhear, but I can't prove the last part yet. I honestly think he does meth based on his behaviors and has multiple domestic violence charges so I'm not really willing to try and reason with him at this point.
At what point can I just evict this dude? What evidence do I need? He's not under a lease to me so I'm not sure if I'd even evict him or if I go after my co-owner.
Unfortunately it's 2:30 am on a Sunday and he's blasting nu-metal loud as fuck and my lawyer is probably sleeping like a baby, so I can't reach out to him until Monday.
