When you’re renting out residential units inThe Sims 4: For Rent, it’s always most peaceful when your tenants are current on their bills and are following all the unit rules, but what should you do if they decide to live by their own rules? If those rules violate yours, evict them.
While you can technically evict any tenant at any time, unjust evictions can incur lawsuits and fines for your landlord Sim. When someone violates a rule and refuses to pay up for their misdeeds, though, you’re able to justly evict a tenant in The Sims 4: For Rent.

You may also find that, when you get paid your rent money, some tenantsmay not pay their rent in full, which also counts as a violation.
This can be checked on the rental property screen in the Owned Businesses tab, as can any fines your unit is currently breaking after a visit.
