Be sure to sue them for back rent... and if you go over there (bring police if that makes you feel safe), look for other violations of the lease....

If they trashed the place, then that is a violation of the lease and more grounds for eviction under noncompliance...

Not that you need a second grounds for eviction, but just to be sure just in case they start paying the court to legally stay in the place...

It's happened to me... somebody once got behind in rent and also turned the place into a squat house.... I tried to evict them on the rent, so they just started paying their back rent to the court, so then I started posting noticed to evict them based on using the place as a squat house (assignment or subletting as it's called in the lease)...
