The problem is, a savvy renter can stay for months, while the landlord files paperwork to evict. If every "t" isn't crossed right, the process starts all over again.

A friend of mine tried to shut the well water off, on a property he was renting to some deadbeats, in order to get them to move out faster. They had not paid any rent in six months. They renters called the police, and guess who almost ended up going to jail? That's right, the landlord. Only because he was still on site, and turned the well back on right away, was he able to avoid a trip with Barney the deputy. Long story short, they moved after paying three months of rent and having lived in the house for one year. The place was trashed as well, but that is another story.
