Q: Requesting whether a judge would grant a 24 hour eviction on a tenant. This sounds gross but my tenant put dog poop
in a bathroom sink that she shares with another tenant in the house (she and other tenant are independent of each other), also threw dog poop onto stairwell and destroyed 4 sets of mini blinds. The tenant lives in the same house as me. The tenant refused to do any clean up.
A: Criminal actions are not required in order to be able to terminate a tenancy with 24 hours notice. While true that Judges broadly disfavor 24 hr terminations, they do uphold them in appropriate cases. Whether your situation qualifies is totally up to the Judge to decide but I would think you have a reasonable chance of prevailing, assuming you can prove your allegations.
