When I was in Boston, MA it was easy swiftly with force in the evening.... now that I am in California you need a good eviction Attorney that will cross every T and dot every I  ....Endre

I follow the CA legal procedure.

My brother however, he likes to call my cousin Vito "Breaking Bones" Barbosa, he has an effective method, although I've never seen him work, since he seems to do so late at night. But, people seem all to anxious to leave the next day, so why question methods?

There is no best way, but owners should follow legal process in their area.

Not with a chainsaw.

Very carefully. It depends on your state but in California the landlord has to have all the t's crossed, and i's dotted.  Some attorneys specialize in evictions, and if it was me, I'd hire one if I had the need. The last thing you want is a squatter that ties you up in court.

I always thought taking the doors off would work....not so much today!!!! I haven't owned an investment property in decades... I have one ranch style home for family only when they need it....

Lawfully. Legally. Recommend the use of an attorney well versed in these matters.

Use a Professional Property Manager !!!

Follow you state property code to the letter.

Uncle Vito.

or use the courts; learn the rules and follow them closely, the judge will be watching for any failures on your part to follow the rules.

Follow the terms of the lease and your local rules and regulations.

Jeff Pearl nailed this one!

In Oklahoma, the courts.

Legally.

Pursuant to the laws in your jurisidiction.

Fart, it worked in my case.

 It depends on your state but in California the landlord has to have all the t's crossed, 

Legally

In my state it would be to call a lawyer, or negotiate with a tenant. We have a lot of rules, especially if the property is in a rent controlled Los Angles county. 

Corey Christiansen - follow the legal procedure.

Check your lease and call an attorney.

Follow the Statutes... to the letter.

With a lawyer who specializes in it.

Call a lawyer to fill out the paper work first, then sheriff department.

Tenant; meet your new neighbors

By following your state's eviction proceedures.

IN California, I hire an eviction attorney.  They do it from start to finish. Too many loopholes for repeat offenders who know the system. 

Follow the notice procedures exactly, document and if contacted, watch what you say as well as offer a carrot to cooperate...

Have a competent eviction attorney!

by your state law

Follow the guidelines in your state...as Richard Weeks said, to a 't!'

Shut off the water and power, put cement blocks across the drive way and throw their stuff in the yard. Well not really, it is ilegal these days, but did hear of a landlord trying it never the less. You need to follow your states landlord tenant laws. Serve them proper notice and follow the law for time. 

By following the law. Every state is different so you need to speak with an attorney and follow the instructions step-by-step.

There are many things to do. I suggest following the letter of the law. 

I have always used an attorney who specializes in this specialty.
