<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">An attorney needs to tell the tenant that he has a choice. The landlord will either go through the process, however long it takes, and evict him (including the sheriff’s involvement)
OR the tenant can make a deal to move out voluntarily for $1,000 or $1,500 (or only $500 if a real derelict) cash to be paid upon actual removal and signing of a Voluntary Termination of Lease & Release of Liability.

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Good Afternoon,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Does anyone know if there is a way to remove/evict a tenant without waiting for a pre-eviction notice?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Client has a triplex with a very difficult and volatile tenant. Police have been called many times, but nothing ever leads to an arrest. 3 adjacent tenants have
left in the last 8 months because of Tenant's abuse and threats. Police have planted the idea of an "emergency eviction" with Client as a way to remove Tenant without going through the notice and service part of the eviction. This is the first time I've
heard of this, and I'm not sure it it exists.<br>
<br>
Tenant is very savvy and seems to know just what to say that would be aggressive and threatening but not lead to an arrest. Tenant likes to say "you could get shot" or "a man could get shot doing something like that" but has never actually displayed a gun
(e.g. Landlord tries to serve a Three Day Notice, neighbor is listening to the radio at a regular volume). Tenant has gotten confrontational and invaded personal space of neighbors and Client, but has never actually stricken, but has created the apprehension
that he would. Police have told my client to get an emergency eviction because they can't arrest Tenant.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Since the tenant has never been arrested, has not actually shown a gun, and there is no drug or gang activity, I don't think 59.18.130 or 59.18.510 apply. Even a Notice to Quit under 59.12.030(5)
still requires some form of notice.<br>
<br>
Is there any way to bypass the 10 Day Comply or Vacate or does anyone know what this "emergency eviction" process is?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
