I am sorry to hear of this difficult situation.

So you don't live there?

Here is the answer to your query. Please do not hesitate to ask any follow up questions related to this response and know that I will respond as soon as I can.

You definitely need to get this person out and you are right that there is a terrible backlog but you certainly should apply for the eviction order at once.

I don't see how you can get in trouble entering the space that is not theirs and emptying it out. They are essentially trespassing.  That's not their rental unit. You couldn't do self-help and start taking their things out of their own rental unit but this is not in the rental unit. I can't see why you couldn't just remove them as long as you don't hurt them.

Does that help?

Yes those are both good ideas.

I don't see how you can. They aren't allowed to use the whole space themselves. All you're doing is giving them what they are entitled to and nothing more.
