There are legal procedures that must be followed when a landlord seeks to evict a tenant. The conditions of a commercial tenant's lease will typically outline specific situations and possible solutions for problems that could lead to eviction.

Rent arrears are the leading cause of eviction for both residential and commercial renters. All evictions of residential renters must adhere to strict municipal and state legislation.

These rules are intended to prevent people from being evicted from their houses without the court's permission. Due to these safeguards, landlords are not permitted to remove renters for discriminatory reasons, and residential tenants are typically shielded from evictions without cause. 

The OP of today's story is about the process of evicting her fiance's family from her house. Her fiance's mother, father, brother, his pregnant wife, and two sons live in her house, and the OP says that they are terrible tenants.

They are constantly late with their rent; they have pretty much destroyed the house, and they also treat the other neighbors terribly. The OP has given them many warnings and chances throughout the past five years, and they have consistently failed to uphold any promises made.

OP had a complete breakdown at the state of the house and now wants to evict them, but her fiance says she should give them a second chance.

The OP asks:

Fiance's family is constantly late with their rent and they have pretty much destroyed the house

They have also alienated the neighborhood because of the children’s bad behavior

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the a-hole:

I am starting the process of evicting my fiancé family without giving them a second chance at doing better

Below are a bunch of the most upvoted comments from Redditors in response to the story above

OP has tolerated this behavior for five years

Why isn't the OP's partner angry at their behavior?

Does the OP think her fiance will be disrespectful of her house in the future?

The OP shouldn't allow them keep screwing her over because it's going to cost her

OP's fiance ought to have kicked them out

The OP might lose her fiance over this so she should be prepared

Another Redditor who says the OP's engagement might be over

The OP should run away from that man and his family as fast as her leg can carry her

In some places, regardless of the conditions of a lease, landlords may need a legal justification to remove a tenant under a residential lease. The OP has a good reason to evict her future in-laws from her house as they've already destroyed the place.

Redditors also supported her decision to evict everyone and some told to include her fiance too. She was declared not the AH in the end.
