Do i have a case? landlord/tenant?

I have TENANTS that are completely ridiculous, purposely damaging the apartment and i wanted to know what i can do about the constant harassment and about the repeated events of the tenant who jumps the fence into my garden and knocks over my religious sculptures (hindu religious flags). i have a video of her doing it as well as pictures. is this religious discrimination? she harasses my parents curses at them and tells them that hinduism is bad and such, doesn't my parents have a right to practice there religion and NOT have the tenants that rent the 2nd floor of their primary residence knocking over their religious ornaments?

Update:

this is in NYC (Bronx)

Update 2:

i don't know much about the laws but what do i tell an attorney is the cause for eviction? plus section 8 the DOH never gave me a copy of my lease and they won't give me a copy and i keep going and asking for it, can an attorney help me get it?

    Well.. you really have more of a trespassing and property damage claim rather than a religious claim. Why haven't they been evicted due to this disruptive and disrespectful behavior??

    I suggest that you give them an eviction notice and file a property damage charge against them.

    Give them a months notice and tell them that the partment is in need of repair after vandalism to the property!

    make sure you film handing the information to them or posting it through their door then go to the police station and tell them that you are letting them know the time and date that you have made a complaint and ask them to help you in foce a kick out of the people.

    Give the tenants the excuse that the apartment is in need of a redecoration and work inside and the builders will be entering the building at the above date, so they will have to find another place to live.

    why did you even rent a house to people in the bronx that place is known for it being crap!!! sell it up and push it into a more safe area.

    It sounds like the owner is evicting her for non-fee of employ not something else. i'm afraid your pal is going to courtroom to look after the actual incontrovertible fact that she were given robbed and then secured the condominium and now the owner is refusing to reimburse her. do not comprehend what state she's in yet no count once you've a dispute with the owner you are able to't withhold your employ with the intention to get the owner to rectify the count, she must have escrowed her employ with the courts. the subsequent subject she has is that she did not get the landlords approval in writing and an quantity they were keen to allow to substantiate that her to get reimbursed for the paintings she had finished. Now it really is a count of her be conscious hostile to theirs. The decide gained't want to take heed to her aspect of the tale after he well-knownshows out she hasn't paid employ for the previous few months attempting to unravel the project, probability is she has a sturdy threat of dropping this example. next time get all of it in writing, placed courtroom circumstances in writing to the owner each and every time she has a topic and escrow her employ with the courts if the owner isn't conscious of her courtroom circumstances, that way she "legally" withheld her employ. i wish the decide takes pity on her because she is pregnant. make confident she takes pictures of the unit to tutor the topics and the police document. the actual fact the authorities agreed to pay and is now replacing their tale will be inadmissible because its heresay. Please tell your pal to purchase renters coverage it really is totally low-priced yet a minimum of she'll be lined if this happens to her back. Sorry and sturdy success

    You are the landlord. You know what the lease says. Terminate the lease in whatever way the lease provides, and send them on their way.
