One of the most awkward and frustrating things that a landlord has to do is evict a tenant.
When you are renting out your property, you give your tenant the legal right to assume control of the property during the lease period. Although this allows you to collect rent from tenants if things don't go smoothly, it can create a lot of problems for you.
