How to evict alcoholic neighbors from an apartment, how to evict a neighbor who drinks from an apartment

Home » Housing disputes » How to evict alcoholic neighbors

Neighbors leading an antisocial lifestyle mean constant noise, brawls, drunken fights, and sometimes quite a fire hazard. What to do, what to do if such “drunks” live on your landing? If you are renting residential premises, it is better to find an apartment somewhere else, quieter. But no one can guarantee that there won’t be the same “merry people” elsewhere. It's better to try to get rid of noisy neighbors. The Housing Code of the Russian Federation gives you the right to influence those who disturb your peace of mind using various levers of pressure, up to and including eviction.

What are the dangers of neighbors who abuse alcohol?

An abusive neighbor is always a time bomb: no one knows when it will explode. Alcoholic neighbors are:

noise at night that prevents others from resting peacefully;
drinking companions who often set up a public toilet from the landing or elevator car;
constant brawls and showdowns;
stench and unsanitary conditions;
hordes of cockroaches.

And even if such neighbors do not seem to bother anyone, they still constantly pose danger. Quietly, without disturbing anyone, having gotten drunk and then falling asleep with an unextinguished cigarette, such a drunkard can burn down the entire house, or, forgetting to turn off the gas, cause an explosion in the entrance.

Constantly living next door to such a person is living on a powder keg. But you should not try to solve the problem yourself, without involving law enforcement agencies or other municipal services. There are many legal ways to deal with this problem.

Drunks at the entrance, what to do

Dirt in the entrance, cigarette butts, empty bottles - this is what residents of apartment buildings have to observe when drunken groups literally move into their house and make noise at night, while normal people sleep. In addition to unsanitary conditions, there is also a safety hazard. Especially children.

Children are more susceptible to negative examples of antisocial behavior than adults with their established life position. The child learns about the world, he is interested in everything around him. And I want him to see more positive examples around him, and not half-decayed individuals from alcohol.

If a group of drunks, and even drunken women, have found refuge in your entrance, then you can, and even need, to take action to ward them off.

First, at a general meeting of residents, resolve the issue with the intercom and combination lock. If the entrance is already locked, make sure that it is always tightly closed. Do not unlock the entrance door to strangers, even if they say that the intercom does not work in the apartment they are visiting. Let the owners come out themselves and let their guests in. If the financial situation of the residents allows, you can hire a concierge. Then the entrance will be under supervision around the clock.

Secondly, when the rowdies have already entered the entrance, under no circumstances engage in a verbal altercation with them. Don't swear, don't start a scandal. A crowd of drunk, inappropriate men can do a lot of terrible things. Better call the police or call the local police officer.

Thirdly, there are various cunning techniques that, with their non-triviality, can scare off uninvited guests. For example, attach a non-working video camera. Install a light bulb that will turn on and off randomly. A light buzzer can be added to the flashing light. Remove benches in the yard. This attracts similar personalities to the house.

And there is no need to try to influence them by force. Otherwise, there is every chance of ending up in traumatology.

Is it possible to evict an alcoholic from an apartment?

Eviction from a residential premises is an extreme measure when all other ways to cope with the problem have not led to the desired result. Of course, if your neighbor is a quiet drunk who, while drinking, does not lose touch with reality and does not bother anyone, then you will not be able to evict him. Everyone has the right to housing, and everyone is free to live the way they want, as long as they do not violate anyone’s rights and do not pose a threat to your well-being.

But if a person has already lost his human appearance, his behavior has become aggressive, he poses a threat to the whole house - here we need to sound the alarm.

It must be remembered that the neighbors themselves do not have the right to evict a noisy alcoholic; they can only initiate eviction by filing a complaint with the Management Company or the police. But even in this case, no one will immediately evict the aggressive neighbor. Forced eviction is possible only by decision of the judicial authorities.

Fine for breaking silence

At night, noise of more than 30 dB means an encroachment on the peace and recreation of people, which is punishable by law. Moreover, the concept of “night” differs in different regions (regions). For Moscow and St. Petersburg this time is from 23:00 to 07:00, for the Moscow region - from 21:00 to 08:00. It is not allowed to disturb the silence on weekdays from 21:00 to 08:00, on weekends and holidays - from 22:00 to 10:00, with the exception of New Year, when restrictions do not apply. During the day, noise should not exceed 40 dB. during "quiet hour" from 13:00 to 15:00. You can check the current time frames in a specific area on the administration website.

Calling the police can solve the problem with troublesome neighbors. Police officers go to the scene and draw up a report on the violation. In court, a decision is made to impose a fine in the amount of 500 to 1 thousand rubles.

The amount of fines for violations of silence depends on the region (region).
, up to 5 thousand rubles
can be recovered from an individual Employees of the management company and Rospotrebnadzor are required to help in the fight against noisy alcoholics upon complaints from suffering residents. The result of joint actions will again be a monetary penalty. But it’s one thing to impose a fine, another thing to pay it. It is not difficult to imagine that alcoholics who always lack money have problems with the second one, so this method is unlikely to get rid of problems with them.

Reasons

The basis for eviction may be a violation of the rights of neighbors by a drunkard neighbor. It can be:

Constant noise, especially at night, quarrels with neighbors, fights.
Organizing a hangout. It makes no difference whether they take drugs or drink alcohol directly in the living room, or whether all this happens in another place, and they come to the apartment later, the main thing here is noisy gatherings of inadequate people.
Danger of committing a crime. At the same time, it makes no difference under what article and what severity the crime can be committed: from minor theft to murder. Crimes are not uncommon among abusive citizens.
Malicious violation of the sanitary and epidemiological situation and hygiene standards. Where people drink constantly, there is always a foul smell, dirt, insects and rats.
Fire situation. There are many cases when, due to the fault of a neighbor who fell asleep with a cigarette in his hands, entire entrances burned out.
Explosive situation. When a person does not control his actions, he may forget that the gas is turned on; such people do not monitor the condition of gas appliances, so a gas leak and subsequent explosion cannot be ruled out.

Another reason why citizens may want to get rid of terrible guests is the danger for the condition of gas equipment. Whether it is a stove or a water heater, it is unlikely to function in normal condition in a rowdy house. Leaving the gas on on the stove, putting the kettle on to boil and forgetting about it, not cleaning the chimney in time - all this is the habit of the lumpen.

Another reason to start writing a complaint is the creation of a criminal situation on the landing, provoked by this same neighbor. Constant screams, swearing, the sound of broken glass, drunken threats - all this, sooner or later, with a high degree of probability will turn into a domestic crime. Infliction of grievous bodily harm, robbery or murder - and living in the entrance will simply become impossible. The quiet life of respectable citizens will be filled with visits from people in uniform with the ensuing consequences in the form of a nervous breakdown.

Our regular reader shared an effective method that saved her husband from ALCOHOLISM. It seemed that nothing would help, there were several codings, treatment at a dispensary, nothing helped. An effective method recommended by Elena Malysheva helped. EFFECTIVE METHOD

First methods of struggle

First of all, before starting the routine procedure of eviction of alcoholics, you need to try to find peaceful ways to solve the problem. For example:

Call your neighbor for a serious heart-to-heart conversation. Try to explain to the person what harm he causes to people and that he is far from being a role model. Threaten with a fine (at least administrative liability for speaking in obscene language) and the same eviction. It's not a fact that the noise will stop, but it's worth a try.
Talk to the alcoholic as if he were a person. It is possible that he is going through some serious troubles in life. And a normal conversation will help him calm down and come to the right decision.
But it is better to avoid a preventive blow with the knee or something stronger. Otherwise, you will have to face a counterclaim.

But this is more on the verge of fantasy. Still, as mentioned earlier, it was worth a try. If this does not help, you need to move on to serious measures. What to do in this case?

Where to start the eviction process

Russian legislation protects the right of citizens to housing, but, on the other hand, if other citizens suffer from the behavior of such a citizen leading an antisocial lifestyle, then the law also protects their interests. The Housing Code of the Russian Federation states that any citizen who has the right to reside in a given property must comply with all standards provided for residents, as well as fire and other safety requirements.

In case of non-compliance with these standards, administrative and other measures are provided for violators, including:

Administrative warning about violation.
Fine.
Eviction. This measure is provided for persons living in residential premises on the basis of a social tenancy agreement.
Deprivation of property rights followed by forced eviction. This measure is applied to particularly persistent violators who are the owners of the property.

Eviction is a last resort. It is used in cases where all other methods to control noisy neighbors have not brought any results, and the violations are malicious (systematic).

But immediately after a violation, even if it is repeated, it will not be possible to initiate eviction. This is a long and complicated procedure. First, neighbors should try to solve the problem peacefully:

Make a verbal reprimand to the neighbor's troublemaker.
Try to come to an agreement with the drinking neighbor so that he does not make noise at night, does not bring noisy guests, and puts his home in order if the unsanitary conditions in the alcoholic’s apartment have already crossed the boundaries of his living space.
If exhortations do not work, then the next step should be to contact law enforcement agencies. To do this, at the next noisy feast or brawl, you need to call the police to record a violation. If you are afraid of the consequences of calling 02, you do not have to give your name; police officers are required to respond to anonymous calls.
Complaint to the district police officer. It can be submitted either from one citizen or from several neighbors (collective). The complaint must indicate: the department of the internal affairs department to which the complaint is sent, the position and surname of the precinct commissioner;
Full name and residential address of the senders of the document, as well as their telephone numbers for contact;
the essence of the complaint (here applicants must describe what kind of violations on the part of the neighbor bother them);
request to the district police officer (to take action against the offender);
date and signature.

Having received a complaint, the district police officer registers it, conducts a preventive conversation with the offender, or takes other legal actions to respond to citizens’ statements, then informs the applicants in writing about what measures have been taken.

If the intervention of the district police officer does not bring any results, those affected by the actions of an alcoholic neighbor can initiate the eviction of the offender.

Algorithm for filing complaints

The application-complaint has a standard form, like any application. The text is compiled in any form; only a few points should be taken into account:

A single complaint is filed from several affected persons at once.
After the name and position of the person in whose name the document was drawn up, list the full names of all persons dissatisfied with the actions.
To provide an answer, the address of one of the residents of the house is offered.
State, point by point, the specific situations that have developed with each of the residents.
Indicate the articles of the law that are violated by the actions of the alcoholic neighbor.
Be sure to include your requirements at the end. Indicate specifically what, in your opinion, law enforcement officers or inspectors of the organizations you are contacting should do.
At the end of the collective complaint there must be the original signatures of each applicant.

A complaint to any authority is drawn up according to this sample.

Be sure to draw up the complaint in two copies and get the signature of the receiving person on yours.

Nuances

For different types of residential premises, the eviction procedure takes place differently. Let's consider the features and nuances of eviction from communal, privatized, municipal apartments, dorm rooms, as well as eviction of violators if they have minor children.

From a communal apartment

Residents of communal apartments, where the kitchen, utility rooms, and bathrooms are common, especially suffer from the actions of inappropriate neighbors. Often, one alcoholic terrorizes several families living in adjacent rooms of the same “communal apartment.”

If the apartment belongs to the municipality, then there are no problems with eviction. Here the algorithm of actions is as follows:

Neighbors send a demand to the offender to stop his illegal actions.
If there is no response, they write a complaint to the municipality.
In turn, local authorities send the rowdy a warning about the threat of eviction if his antisocial behavior continues.
Then there are two ways: either the offender calms down and continues to live in his room, or, as most often happens, he continues to behave inappropriately. In this case, the neighbors file a second complaint, and the municipality, after receiving the neighbors’ repeated appeal, files a claim with the court to evict the offender from the living space he occupies.

Eviction occurs through court proceedings, and without the provision of alternative housing.

From a privatized apartment

Eviction from a privatized apartment where the offender is its owner is the most difficult thing. Even if the behavior of such a neighbor is absolutely outrageous, it will be difficult to evict him. The legislation proposes other measures to influence this category of citizens:

Fines.
Administrative arrest.
Forced labor.
If these measures do not help, the court may send the noisy alcoholic to compulsory treatment for alcohol addiction at a drug treatment clinic.

In any case, citizens suffering from the unlawful actions of a drinking neighbor should act as follows:

Every time a rowdy neighbor starts to get violent, call the police. The more facts of antisocial behavior are recorded, the greater the chance that the offender will be evicted in the future. Each time the police are called, you must keep copies of the violation report.
If the apartment of disadvantaged neighbors has an unfavorable sanitary and hygienic situation and it has turned into a breeding ground for rodents and cockroaches, if unpleasant odors are coming from the apartment, you can involve the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station. Within a month after your application to this authority, the institution’s specialists must inspect the residential premises and issue the applicant with a certificate of the condition of the violator’s residential premises. This document will also be useful to prove violations on the part of a drunkard neighbor.
If minors live in a family of alcoholics, you must contact the guardianship authorities. PLO employees will check the living conditions of the minor child and initiate deprivation of parental rights. In this case, it will be much easier to evict noisy neighbors.
Often, such rowdy neighbors damage not only their own property, but also the common property, and sometimes cause material damage to the property of their neighbors. Each such fact must be recorded by drawing up an act of damage to property.

Thus, each fact of violation of your rights will be recorded either in writing or using video or audio documents, which during the court hearing will become evidence of malicious violations of your rights by your alcoholic neighbor.

The more evidence is collected, the more likely it is that the court will be able to save you from such an unpleasant neighborhood. It is advisable to enlist the help of an experienced lawyer.

Example. The owner of a privatized apartment, Shubin, led an antisocial lifestyle for many years, constantly abused alcoholic beverages, and brought drinking buddies who kept the neighbors awake until the morning. The apartment was cluttered, foul odors emanated from it, and hordes of cockroaches and mice terrorized the neighboring apartments. At the same time, Shubin reacted aggressively to the neighbors’ comments, often at night after heavy libations he burst into the neighbors to sort things out.

Neighbors repeatedly called the local police officer and the police, reports of administrative violations were drawn up, the police arrested the rowdy several times, but the violent neighbor’s reaction to the victims’ complaints became more and more aggressive.

Neighbors wrote a collective complaint to local authorities asking them to protect them from their aggressive neighbor. The municipality filed a claim for deprivation of property rights and forced eviction of Shubin in court. As evidence, protocols on administrative violations, reports of damage to communal and personal property of neighbors, and a conclusion from the SES on the difficult sanitary and hygienic conditions in Shubin’s apartment were presented. The defendant did not appear in court.

Having considered all the materials of the case, the court decided to deprive the defendant of his property rights and evict him from the occupied premises.

From a council apartment

Eviction from a municipal apartment is possible only on the initiative of local authorities. An eviction can be initiated based on complaints from neighbors about the antisocial behavior of a neighbor who drinks; the municipality can also evict for debts on utility bills, which antisocial elements usually accumulate for years.

Eviction from a municipal apartment “to nowhere” is unlikely; the offender is provided with another living space, smaller in area and less comfortable. If the violations consist only of prolonged non-payment of utility bills, then alternative housing will be provided. Eviction without the provision of other housing is possible only in cases of flagrant violation of the rights of neighbors, reduction of residential premises to a non-residential condition, or damage to common property.

It is necessary to act in the same way as when evicting from a privatized residential premises, according to the same rules and in the same order. If the complaints of the affected neighbors are collective, it will be possible to achieve the eviction of the alcoholic faster.

From the hostel

If the room in the dorm is privatized, then eviction is possible only as a last resort, when all other ways to bring the drinking neighbor to his senses have been exhausted.

If the room is owned by the municipality or organization, then eviction may follow immediately after a proven complaint from neighbors.

Alternative living quarters are not provided upon eviction from the hostel.

If there are children

There are often cases when minor children live in a family of alcoholics; in this case, it is necessary to contact the guardianship and trusteeship authorities. Representatives of the PLO will definitely visit a dysfunctional family and try to change the situation by outlining the prospects for negligent parents if they continue their antisocial behavior - deprivation of their parental rights and subsequent eviction from the residential premises they occupy.

This perspective may help offenders reconsider their lifestyle, but, unfortunately, this is extremely rare. Therefore, PLOs initiate the deprivation of alcoholic parents of parental rights, the removal of children from the family and their transfer to other relatives or to an orphanage. After depriving the parents of their rights, the court removes them from the child, that is, in fact, evicts them from the residential premises they occupy.

Example. The Nikanorov family lived in a two-room privatized apartment: mother, father and two daughters - eighteen-year-old Anastasia and three-year-old Elena. For the last two years, the parents drank and led an antisocial lifestyle; the eldest daughter and younger sister often had to spend the night with neighbors, as drunken groups gathered in the apartment, and fights often broke out.

After repeated complaints from neighbors to the police and the municipality, local authorities, together with a PLO officer, visited the dysfunctional family and came to the consensus that it was dangerous for girls to live with their parents.

The PLO initiated the deprivation of the Nikanorovs' parental rights in relation to their youngest daughter Elena, the court, having considered all the materials of the case, went to meet them halfway. And since parents deprived of their rights do not have the right to live together with their minor children, the court decided to deprive the Nikanorovs of their property rights and evict them, as well as to transfer the living space into the ownership of their adult daughter.

Subsequently, Anastasia took custody of her younger sister and continued to live in the apartment as the owner of the premises.

The girls were lucky that they were able to stay in the apartment after their parents evicted. This became possible because one of them was already an adult and was able to obtain guardianship over her younger sister. Since the girls had no other relatives, if they were both minors, they would be placed in an orphanage. But in any case, the apartment would not have been confiscated; upon reaching adulthood, they would have been able to live in it.

Sample of filling out an application for a drunk neighbor

Your neighbor drinks regularly, and the sounds of music, screams, and laughter are heard from his apartment, which prevent you from sleeping, what should you do? If after your conversation with them nothing has changed, then there is nothing effective left but to write a complaint to the district police officer. There are two ways to do this: come to the branch and fill out an application form, or write it yourself and send it by mail. In this section I will tell you what to write in the application if you do not go to the police station. So, they compose it according to the following scheme:

On the top right side of the piece of paper, fill out the header. You can find out detailed contacts by calling “02” in advance;
After you indicate the contacts to whom the complaint is addressed (in the name of the local district police officer), you provide information about yourself, that is, full name, address and contact telephone number;
Then in the middle of the sheet, below the header, write “statement” in small letters. After this, describe the problem in simple language, ask to take action against the people who are ruining your life.

Attention! Next, make sure that the letter reaches the department and the case is opened. Remember, all applications are entered into the register and have their own number. Therefore, if you come to find out about the progress of your request, you must be given its number and tell about the measures taken and intentions.

According to statistics, Russia is in second place among the countries of the Eurasian continent in terms of the volume of alcohol consumed per capita by citizens aged 15 years and older. And in fourth place among countries around the world. There are many anecdotes, myths and stereotypes about the drinking Russian people. This is one of the most negative and discrediting features of our people. Considering the fact that half of the country’s population lives in the city - that is, as close to each other as possible - the problem of alcoholism for one specific person often turns into a problem for an entire high-rise building. With his asocial lifestyle, he literally makes the whole house whine, poisoning existence. Living with this type is not only unpleasant, but also dangerous. At such moments, respectable tenants begin to think about how to evict their alcoholic neighbors. Is it possible by law to prohibit lumpen people from occupying residential premises and ruining the lives of others?

How to evict alcoholic neighbors through court

Since, if there are neighbors, the house is considered an apartment building, the eviction of alcoholics is handled by the municipal authority or the owner of the residential premises, if it is not privatized. Neighbors suffering from the rowdy's behavior can only file a complaint about the tenant's unlawful behavior in the name of the owner.

Citizens cannot file a claim for eviction; this is the prerogative of municipal authorities or the owner of the residential premises where violations occur. But they can file a class action for eviction in cases where the apartment is privatized.

Procedure for judicial eviction

In order to initiate a judicial eviction, it is necessary to follow the procedure for pre-trial resolution of the problem:

Prepare an evidence base regarding the antisocial behavior of a rowdy neighbor.
File a complaint to the owner of the residential premises or to local authorities.
Based on this complaint, the owner or municipality must issue a warning to the violator about the inadmissibility of his further illegal actions (in writing).
Drawing up a statement of claim for eviction.
Filing a statement of claim to the district (city) court at the place of residence of the drunkard.
Participation of a representative of the municipality or the owner in the court hearing.
Receipt of a court decision and subsequent transfer of a writ of execution to the bailiff service.
Forced eviction of the offender with the help of bailiffs and, if necessary, in the presence of employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the police.

List of documents

The applicant must attach a certain package of documents to the statement of claim, namely:

several copies of the statement of claim (according to the number of participants in the process);
original receipt of payment of state duty;
a copy of the social tenancy agreement, if the apartment is municipal;
a copy of the official rental agreement if the housing is official;
copies of title documents for residential premises;
extract from the house register;
all protocols on administrative violations;
copies of complaints from neighbors and responses from local governments and the police to these complaints;
residential premises inspection reports;
other documents that can serve as evidence of the illegality of the actions of the troublemaker of the neighbors.

Statement of claim 2021 (sample)

The statement of claim for eviction must have the following content:

The so-called “hat”. Here the plaintiff indicates the name and exact address of the judicial authority to which the eviction claim is filed. Jurisdiction must be observed: the claim is filed in the district (city) court in whose jurisdiction the defendant resides. Information about the plaintiff and defendant in the case and the location of the property must also be indicated here.
Reason for filing the claim.
Information about attempts to resolve the problem pre-trial. It is necessary to list all attempts to resolve the problem peacefully and the defendant’s reaction to them.
Indicate whose and what interests have been violated by the defendant.
Indicate the legal acts on the basis of which the plaintiff files a statement of claim.
Plaintiff's claims.
Date and signature.

Sample statement of claim for eviction of an alcoholic from an apartment

Deadlines

Of course, you can’t expect a rowdy person to be evicted within a week or a month. It will take a lot of time to collect evidence and prepare a claim. Based on judicial practice, plaintiffs will need:

for preparing the evidence base – from one to four months;
to consider a claim – up to five working days;
for consideration of a case in court - from two months;
for the transfer of a writ of execution and the opening of an enforcement case - up to one week;
for direct eviction – up to seven days.

Thus, the eviction process can last up to six months, and in particularly difficult cases up to a year.

Price

For filing a claim of a non-property nature, individuals pay a state fee in the amount of three hundred rubles, legal entities – in the amount of six thousand rubles.

In any case, if the statement of claim contains an additional demand for the recovery of all legal costs of the plaintiff from the defendant, then the court will most likely satisfy this demand. Of course, in the event that the court decision is made in favor of the plaintiff.

Collection of evidence

When considering eviction claims, the court pays special attention to the evidence base. It must be impeccable, since the question is being decided: whether the citizen will continue to live in his apartment, or whether he will have to leave the premises.

Call the police

All calls from the police to the address are recorded in the duty station, and calls to the local police officer are recorded in his documents. As evidence, you can use protocols of the offense and copies of statements addressed to the district police officer with his return response to the applicant.

Contacting the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station (SES)

As a rule, alcoholics do not bother to maintain cleanliness and order in their living space. Therefore, neighbors suffer from an unpleasant odor, an infestation of rodents and cockroaches, and other consequences of violating the sanitary and hygienic rules of a drunkard living next door.

In this case, they have the right to call a representative of the SES to inspect the residential premises. The latter, after visiting the offender’s apartment, draw up an inspection report, a copy of which must be attached to the statement of claim.

Contacting utility services

Failure to pay housing and communal services by a troublemaker will be an additional argument in favor of his eviction. As evidence of utility debt, you will need to attach an extract from your personal account to the claim.

Testimony from neighbors

The more witnesses confirm the fact of inappropriate behavior of an alcoholic, the higher the chances of a positive court decision for the plaintiff.

In residential high-rise buildings there are several apartments on one staircase.

At the purchasing stage, the future home owner is not always able to find out whether the neighbors are prosperous. If there are alcoholics among them, you may have to start defending your own rights to a quiet life .

Arbitrage practice

Judicial practice on the eviction of drinking citizens shows that even before filing a statement of claim, the plaintiff must carry out painstaking work. The evidence base must be impeccable: any doubt about the authenticity of documents or the veracity of witnesses will be interpreted by the court in favor of the defendant.

However, there are many court cases where the court decided to evict the defendants from the residential premises they occupied. Based on judicial practice, such decisions can be divided into three main areas:

The court transfers ownership of the residential premises to another representative of the defendant’s family, evicting the defendant from the apartment.
The eviction of the defendant is postponed, the court sends him for compulsory treatment to a drug treatment clinic.
The court makes a decision on termination of the right to use the apartment and subsequent eviction (in cases of eviction from a municipal apartment, where, in addition to the antisocial behavior of the defendant, there is a huge debt on utility bills).

You shouldn’t turn a blind eye to the illegal actions of your alcoholic neighbor; this is fraught with sad and sometimes tragic consequences. In some cases, an effective measure to bring such a neighbor to his senses is to involve law enforcement agencies, the PLO and the municipality. If preventive measures are not successful, then a lawsuit for eviction remains.

But even here it is worth keeping in mind that eviction, as a result of satisfying a claim, does not always occur. It is unlikely that your neighbor will be evicted unless he has no other place to live and has nowhere else to go. In this case, the violation must be truly egregious.
