Immediate removal of parties other than tenant, when

First, if a landlord proves someone did drug-related activity but the tenant has a valid defense to keep their home, the judge will not end the tenancy — instead, the judge orders the person who did the drug activity to leave right away. Second, if a landlord shows that someone is living in a home without being a legal tenant or lessee, the judge orders that person to leave immediately.
