Will This Speed Up The Eviction Process?

[PinkLimoncello]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts

My landlord has sent a notice to quit or cure to my neighbors. Since they've continued to party, I'm assuming he's now going to evict them and I'm going to the housing court tomorrow to make sure he actually filed.

In the meantime, I just discovered something disturbing. I Googled my neighbor's name and came across a newspaper article from last summer. He was at a house party where two young women were raped and he was arrested for disorderly conduct. I would not at all be surprised if the person who was arrested for the rape (his trial ended in deadlock) attends the three-night-a-week parties hosted by my neighbor.

I plan on sending the link to the newspaper article to my landlord (along with pics of the broken door from this weekend's party). Will that at all speed up any eviction process?

Of course not. It has nothing to do with the eviction.

Hmm. I guess just the idea that he's got someone who was (1) at a party where someone was raped and (according to the article I read, probably watched) and (2) the fact that he has house parties in this apartment where the guy almost certainly attends might help sway things. Or that somehow having them was a further violation of the lease.

I certainly hoped so. Too bad.

p.s. Not that any violation of the lease seems to matter to my lowlife neighbors.

Your better off keeping that info to yourself. Your LL is doing the right job in working on an eviction for your neighbors. Adding fuel to that fire can cause your neighbor to want to really piss you off.

Grasping at straws, are we?

Oh, and according to what you've already said, the guy was arrested for disorderly conduct, not rape. If there were enough evidence of the rape, he would have been charged with rape.

Read my post again. Reading comprehension can be your friend. As I said, he was arrested for disorderly conduct and, according to the article, WATCHED the rape. I never said he raped someone.

Which still has nothing to do with the eviction. OR with you, for that matter.

Though it would not expedite the eviction property, it may help your landlords resolve to get rid of this bad guy. To witness a crime and do nothing is equally as bad. All he had to do was pick up a phone and call the police.

How do you figure? The LL is already working on the eviction through the courts. Seems pretty resolved already

Zig... Learn to read.

LL has posted quit or cure notice. That is not an eviction notice.
Tenant will probably quit for a week and then continue partying.
LL has to commit to evict and OP's article may help him decide to continue to aggressively seek the eviction of the tenant.
