From my understanding, it's hard for landlords to evict tenants if rent is being paid. They would have to go court and prove these people pose an actual threat to other tenants, and since the police didn't charge them with a crime, that's a hard thing to prove

And frankly, a lot of landlords don't care if rent is paid and damage is not being done to the apt.

The loud tenants are likely in violation of the lease they agreed to, which is enough to have them evicted. Yes, LL would have to go through eviction process but they don't have to prove they're a threat. Multiple documented instances of breaking the noise curfew is sufficient.

Depending on the location, the LL may very well not care so long as rent is being paid, but the posing a threat thing is nonsense.

But the thing is the people who are causing the noises are not even on the lease. they are guests of the tennant. How do you evict someone who is not on the lease

I mean the tenant is in violation of the lease (supposedly, I have never signed a lease that didn't lay out how long a "guest" can stay without informing the landlord) and the landlord can evict the tenant and their guest? But of course that is between the landlord and tenant, so not sure what you can do.

If the cops were called multiple times I thought it was relatively easy in Virginia to kick them out.
