Police creeping around friends house... Advice?

Recently, an acquaintance of my friend was arrested and turned narc. Two days later, my friend hears from another guy that cops were sneaking around his house while he was away, peering into windows etc.
If the Narc told the police that my friend was up to all sorts of bad stuff (but he wasn't a narc when this stuff happened), is that enough for them to get a warrant on his house? I don't want to panic him, but I feel like he needs to get rid of anything he might have.
Or, should he just go on the down-low for a month or two? He doesn't own the house, he rents... so I'm also concerned about his landlord.

yes that is enough PC to get a warrant if I were him I would get every thing out of that place immediately also the landlord has the right to let them in depending on the state you live in

Apparently not, since the police were snooping around. If they could get a warrant, then they wouldn't bother sneaking. A lot depends upon where you live as to what the requirements are for a search warrant. Where I used to live, the police had to have three different pieces of evidence to get a warranty. For example, information from a confidential informant plus observing people coming and going at all hours of the night (indicative of a drug house) plus seeing drug paraphernalia in plain sight when looking through a window.

Yes it is, if the narc did the whole jazz of swearing in court then yes, they have grounds for a warrant.
Why haven't they gotten a warrant yet? because they prolly wanna build a case
My suggestion?
Get rif of all your illegal shit

How does that make no sense?
If a narc narcs on somebody, and they have the ability to obtain a warrant from a given testimony why would they right off the bat!?
Why wouldnt they build a case, scope the are and find what they can BEFORE they sweep in to make the arrest?!

To snag any evidence before it is destroyed.

Uh, that is what they do with the search warrant.

An arrest warrant is not a search warrant.

Turns out they had gotten a tip about stolen property in my friends house. His roommate managed to get rid of anything else, and so my friend just got a possession of stolen goods or similar charge.
He went to the police station to ask about the snooping, and the cops went back to the house with him.

A much better outcome than the alternatives... drug related charges suck.
