Yes, you can and MUST evict that tenant. If you fail to evict a tenant after discovering drug activity on your property, you're subject to civil asset forfeiture, where the county, state, or federal government, can take your house.

∙ 7y agoAbsolutely! This is a powerful right a landlord has when it comes to drug activity on their property. They are not only obligated to evict the person who was caught either selling, using, or manufacturing, but everyone else attached to the lease as well.
That means if your son or daughter is observed by the landlord, smoking a little pot on their front porch in a place where it's illegal, not only can your son or daughter be evicted, but the entire family is REQUIRED to be evicted from the property.
If the landlord fails to evict the tenant and police subsequently get involved and discover the drugs, they can seize the house from the landlord as a problem property.

Can someone with a Power of attorney for someone who inherited his mothers property evict without notice if he sells property in Ohio?
The person in the property (the tenant) will have a lease. This is a legal document which sets out how the tenant may be evicted (but can not ignore the federal or state laws that may also apply). This lease is between the tenant and the landlord (whoever the landlord may be) and it will normally specify a period of notice that the landlord MUST give the tenant if the landlord wishes to evict the tenant. So look at the lease and get an attorney if you are worried.

How do you serve an eviction notice Ohio Richland County?
Well first of all..you the landlord "have to" serve the tenant with a 3 day eviction...this is Ohio law! Give the tenant reason why they have to vacate! The tenant then has 3 business days to vacate the premises...weekends can not be included in these 3 days! Then after the 3 days if they do not vacate the premises then you have to go to your county court system and request to file an eviction with the court! At this time you might want to take any and all documents with you as to why you are requesting an eviction!
Must a tenant pay the insurance company of the landlord for negligence in Ohio?
The answer dependent upon a few factors. If the tenant is an additional insured (sometimes called an additional named insured) on the policy, the insurer's right of subrogation (recovery from the at-fault party) usually does not apply. This is because upon the facts stated, the tenant is also an insured under the policy, so the insurer would in effect be subrogating against its own insured. If the tenant is not an additional insured or an additional named insured, the analysis would depend upon the terms of the lease. Some leases allow this kind of recovery, and others hold the tenant harmless.
