How can you drive a bad tenant out from a rental in such situations? How
do
you prevent them from completely trashing the place on their way out?

In liberal cities/states like San Francisco, NYC, Chicago you can't
prevent them from trashing the place and living rent free. The answer
is as simple as that. Unless you have a lot of rental units so that
your "good" units can carry the "bad" ones for a couple of years, you
take a bad hit. I've seen it several times.

Bottom line: stay were you are until you can sell the house.

Sadly, both my wife and I are leaning toward that decision because we live
in an area where the tenant gets the benefit of all doubts in court.
