On the other hand, if the eviction laws and process were easier for landlords then maybe the elderly lady I knew from church,used to live with (I lived with her for ten months and moved because she had a ton of untreated psych issues and the stress became too much) wouldn't have ended up with a shit tenant after I left. This tenant moved in and promised to pay her back taxes and mortgage as the rent amount..he had her entire second floor(two bedrooms, a bathroom and office) to himself and basically destroyed the entire floor and took over the entire house..he physically abused her, psychologically abused her, financial abuse, emotional abuse, stole treasured possessions from her and pawned them..she called the cops and they told her it was a civil issue, I called Adult Protective services on her multiple times and she refused the help. She was afraid to kick him out because she was terrified of being homeless and giving up her elderly dog(her only living link to her deceased husband besides the house). She finally had enough and went to evict him but couldn't because she couldn't afford an attorney and she couldn't afford the court fees.

He ended up being served eviction notice by the state after she was forced into a nursing home and the bank foreclosed..but at that point he'd made the interior of her house non inhabitable. Which was a shame. It was a nice house
