OMG you are SOOOO in Texas it isn't funny. In NY, it would cost a landlord over 5 grand to evict a tenant and take at least three months. More, if it is winter.
I have a friend who routinely offers miserable tenants $1,000. cash if they are out by the 15th. He then has two weeks to clean and paint the place. Without exception, they all take the money and leave, find some other hole to live in.
He looks at it as a cost of doing business and it saves him several months of no rent AND lawyer's fees to evict the jerks.
