We live in suburbia, bought our house a little over a year ago. Most of the houses here are owner occupied, but there are a few renters on the cul de sac.
One of the renters is a less than desireable neighbor. They live in a 4 bed room house, and for awhile they had quite a few people living there, including living in the garages.
We suspect one of the people that live there as having broken into one of the other neighbors houses in the past.
We called the building inspector, which caused the people to move out of the garage. Todays exploit is one of their cars drove over the neighbors lawn tearing it up quite bad. Since that neighbor does not live there it is difficult to contact them, however the neighborhood is getting fed up with them.

To further complicate the matter the Owner is currently in default on the house, and is not receptive to any overtures by the rest of the neighbors.

I know that if the house goes into forclosure, the problem might rectify itself, but in the mean time does any one have any good ideas on how to encourage the neighbors to seek a different place to live? This is California, so renters have a lot of rights.
