There was a time where both my neighbor Heidi and i were on over nights, but opposites, meaning if i worked every sun mon tue overnight she worked at qa different site same company wed thur fri EO sat nights and both of us had vehicles that were not only old but had more things go wrong and we used to use each others vehicles all the time just to make sure we did not miss work when one or the others was broken down and as long as we were both insured no problem not against the law.

This situation seems complicated, especially if there have been issues with illegal activities in the past. If you're concerned that the new resident is violating the rules or misusing the car, it's a good idea to check the lease terms and report any issues to management if necessary. It's important not to jump to conclusions without evidence, but if you notice clear violations or illegal activities, documenting them and informing the appropriate authorities might be the best course of action. The key is to stay calm, avoid unnecessary conflicts, and prioritize your own safety.

What is the name of your state? IL

A new resident moved in with her sister a month ago. My landlord has cameras all around so I'm sure he knows. Most of the residents at my complex do drug deals. It was really bad in the past. I had to complain about it and eventually management took action.


I've never heard of in my entire life even a friend to loan out a car. My only conclusion is maybe the residents are exchanging out marijuana , or cigarettes for them to be able to drive her car. As that's the usual drug people smoke or exchange, sell here.
BTW... Pot is legal in IL, both for medical and recreational use.

lol...you didn't read the TOS of this site did you?

Want me to get one of the site vetted attorney volunteers to respond? @Taxing Matters
Hey they been breaking their lease by drug deals here for a few years. A vetted atty from Avvo, said landlords don't evict tenants unless rents unpaid. So I guess that's why they keep losers like that at these low income apartments. It's sad these drug addicts get moved in. When people that really need the housing still on the streets and don't do drugs.

Please get some mental health care before your bizarre behavior lands you in jail, committed to a psych ward or sued.

First, thank you for returning to your original thread to provide the update.

The attorney from Avvo is incorrect. Was the answer he provided AI-generated, perhaps?

Landlords will evict tenants for more than just unpaid rent. Lease-term violations of any kind are often the cited-reason behind lease terminations and tenant evictions.

Many if not most leases will include a clause that says any violation of local, state or federal laws is grounds for termination.

I don’t know what is going on at your rental but drug deals can be reported to the police. If a tenant is arrested, charged, convicted and jailed, that can effectively terminate a lease.

That's an opinion, not a fact. The bar is low for being "a vetted atty from Avvo". Really low. Like, you would be horrified at how unsuccessful as a lawyer you can be and still game the system to get a decent rating on Avvo.

A landlord evicts a tenant when the tenant's lease violation(s) exceeds the landlord's patience. Some landlords have a lot of patience. Or indifference.
