Exes can work together to refinance home

May 3, 2019 6:00 AM - Q. My husband and I divorced about four years ago.

Late, complaining tenants may not be so easy to evict

By Tom Resnick
Jan 11, 2019 6:00 AM - Q. We have tenants who are driving us crazy. Constantly late with payments, complaints from our other tenants (we own a three-flat) and they are constantly complaining to us about incredibly minor stuff. We would love for them to leave and find another tenant. Unfortunately, they have a written lease that runs through the end of May. Like I said, they are always late with rent but do always eventually pay. Is there any way to end this lease and get them out?
