DH and I know a guy (in upstate NY) who owns some income property and had his own way of dealing with such renter scum. If the tenants wouldn't leave after being formally evicted, he would go in and remove the doors from the place--take them right off the hinges and haul them off the property. If they still didn't leave, he'd start taking out the windows. How he got away with it, I'll never know, because it does seem like some namby-pamby judge would have a big problem with such a direct approach violating an evicted tenant's rights, but it got pretty immediate results.
This situation you describe does sound a little different, though, as a landlord does have to go through legal eviction proceedings to remove a tenant from a property, even if they are in direct violation of the lease. One reason I would never want to be a landlord is that the tenant now has at least thirty days to trash the apartment, and while you'd probably win any court case suing for damages beyond the security deposit, good luck on collecting it.
