is it common for landlords to threaten to evict you if you have the police over "frequently?"

for the record, the police have been to my home twice this year. last month and in january.

It probably depends on what the police were there for. As for whether it's common, I honestly don't think you're going to find too many shut-in RPers who have ever had the police come to their homes/their landlords react to it, so rpa is a really strange place to ask this. Or are you trying to figure if it's illegal for them to make the threat, or what?

This comment makes me wonder if people just attract their own kind or something. I don't know about yours, but my plurk timeline is chock full of white trash with ongoing family legal drama.

i wanted to figure out if it was legal or not and if they can actually evict us.

i didn't mention it in the op but the only times we've had the police over had nothing to do with actual crime.

People can have the police come over even if they did nothing. Someone can give bad information about an address that a potential suspect lives in and someone who did nothing gets a visit. Had that happen once myself.

I've lived in neighborhoods where this is a common threat, because landlords "didn't want trouble" regardless of what the actual situation was.

Most landlords back down on this kind of threat if you actually know anything about the housing laws in your area or point out to them how long the eviction process takes and that you would fight it. It's a tactic intended to scare uneducated tenants who feel like they have no recourse, and a quick call to any local free legal aid resource should give you the information you need to deal with it.

common threat? yes. but only common when frequently actually means every week or once a month for more than half your lease term. if you're serious and they're claiming 2 visits is frequent, then that's some bullshit reasoning, but shitty landlords will commonly use bullshit reasoning to try to bully shitty tenants. that part isn't unusual.

check your local and state tenant laws and know your rights. anon above me has good advice.

QUIT BREAKING THE LAW, ASSHOLE

my roommate went missing once and threatened suicide another time, you uneducated dramamonger.

other than this year, we had the police over once before 4+ years ago when we had a fire.

I'm pretty sure they were joking.

It's a film quote.

It sounds more like they're wary of continuing to rent to a tenant who might well vanish off the face of the earth or kill themself and leave the landlord to clean up the mess, given the details you've provided.

That's not uncommon. It's not necessarily legal, either, but we can't really help you with that aspect because the landlord-tenant act varies by region. Look at online resources, look at the terms of your lease (they have more leeway to kick you out if you're month-to-month than if you sign a yearly lease), and speak to someone in legal aid or at your local tenancy board.

r/legaladvice

i can only speak to the united states, but here, yes, it's possible and legal for landlords to evict if the police are frequent visitors to your residence.

when i lived in an apartment complex, my neighbor was involved in a local drug and prostitution ring. there were numerous problems arising from the neighbor's visitors, from damaged cars to noise complaints in the am hours. the landlord told us to keep calling the cops, because the more police reports there were against the neighbor, the easier it would be for eviction. eventually, there were enough that the landlord was able to evict.

the reason eviction was permitted was because the resident posed a danger and a continued nuisance to the other residents.

i saw the situation you described and no, that isn't cause for eviction.
