Re: Can You Really Kick Them Out for Trespass by Gail K (GA) on June 10, 2010 @06:55

                              
You can put in your lease that your tenants must wear pink booties or dance naked on the front lawn...but that doesn't make it legal or enforceable.

What is likely to happen (and will almost CERTAINLY happen in the tenant friendly state of California) is that law enforcement will tell you nonpayment of rent is a civil, not criminal matter and that you must go through the court system to get an eviction.

Now, disturbing the peace IS considered to be a criminal matter which is why the police responded; this does not mean they will evict the tenants without a court order granting them the ability to do so but it does give you more evidence to terminate the lease THROUGH THE COURT SYSTEM when you file for eviction.
