Even when you can evict your tenants, it can take a long time, since you have to go to court. Had a friend have a property get absolutely destroyed by tenants that took a while to evict - 10s of thousands of dollars of damages. Of course, you could sue to recover your losses but these sort of tenants are usually an empty bag - you can't collect money they dont have and a small security deposit wont cover much. These situations are uncommon, but hardly unheard of.
