    Reasons to break a lease
    I rent to my ex , I did so in desperation when he had no where to go , We have a rental agreement now and my life is hell . He did 7,000 in damage before the lease and now is there girlfriend in tow and not following rules . ( No leaving cigatrette butts around , cleaning up after himself ) etc and he has not repaired all the damage and still lives there for cheap money when the rest of the city pays about 400.00 more a month for the same housing. So what can I do to get him out ? I live in Massachusetts

    Hello M:

    Evict him. We have your states landlord tenant laws at the top of the real estate page on a sticky note. Read 'em and do what they say.

    Sue him for damages so their will be a judgement to be sure they pay. Next if they are breaking the lease, evict them
