If you have been clean from eviction in those 6 years then you should be OK. If you went back and lived with parents or relatives then say so. Be honest and tell them you had difficulties at work and it was a bad time for you if that was the case. They may ask for the company name where you are working just to verify you have an income. There should be no problems. Marcy

If you break any provision of the lease what recourse does the landlord have?

This depends on how serious or repetitious the violation is. A landlord can give you some time to correct the violation or can ask you to leave. If the landlord chooses the latter, he can choose not to renew the lease, terminate it with some notice, such as 30 days or less, or terminate it immediately by means of an eviction (an eviction is actually a court proceeding, not just a request for you to move. If you move per the request without the matter heading to court you will not have an eviction record, which could jeopardize your housing choice voucher if you have one and your ability to get into another home).


Which is worse an eviction or broken lease?

An eviction definitely! With a broken lease, you are still paying your landlord the rent that you own him and will probably be paying a fee to break the lease. With an evicition, the renter probably has stopped paying the rent or has damaged the property or has been doing something illegal like growing marijuana on the property.


Is a person on a joint lease responsible for the entire amount when the other lease holder cannot pay their share?

Yes. Persons who enter into joint rental/lease agreements are responsibile for the entire amount even when one of them defaults unless they want to risk eviction and perhaps civil penalties.


Can a landlord evict you if you signed a lease option to purchase?

That it is a "lease - with an option to purchase" makes no difference. You would be subject to eviction like any lease tennant, the same as if it didn't have an option. (Agreeably , you MAY still have the option to exercise your right to purchase rather than move, if you are able to perform as required by the Option agreement. It is also possible, and said in most contracts, that breeching the lease eliminates the Option).


Can you be evicted after being 30 days late?

In Arizona eviction procedures should start at 5 days late. Your state and lease may have a different number of days but bottomline you can't live there unless you pay your rent. Any days late is not right, irritates the landlord, may cause late penalties and will cause eventual eviction procedures. In Arizona eviction procedures should start at 5 days late.

Will a commercial eviction affect your ability to sign a commercial lease?

It may not effect your ability to engage in a contract, but it will effect the likeliness of a contractor wanting to sign a lease with you. Commercial evictions are typically listed on your credit report and this negatively effects the likelihood of any perspective business relationships.


When there is no lease do I need a written eviction notice?

Wait, I misunderstood your question, do you want an eviction on your record? It will be harder to get another apartment in the future and it stays on your permanent record. So, If you are not paying rent and you have no lease and you think the eviction will give you some spare time you are right but it will screw up your future. You should talk to your landlord and do it amicably.


If you moved and never were served with eviction papers?

If you weren't served an eviction notice and the case did not go to court, there will not be an eviction on your record. You can check the court records in your county to make sure there isn't an eviction on your record.


If you just recently got an eviction what are your chances on getting a place?

Get a new place before the final judgment hits the Court's public record, and your credit report. There are companies that search court records for eviction judgments, enter the info into a database and then charge fees to Landlords for checking a potential tenant's background. Be aware that even though you sign a new lease, if the new landlord should ever become aware that you had an eviction when you signed your lease, it may be grounds for them to terminate your lease, and you're out again. Read the lease or application for their policy on future knowledge of your previous eviction. And keep your fingers crossed they never find out. It will be on your record for 7-10 years, depending upon the state and eviction laws.

Will my credit score affect my lease price?

Yes, and even your ability to get a lease. Because of the lower down payment, a lease may be harder to get than normal car financing.


Can you dispute an eviction?

Depends what and when you are trying to fix it. If it's because rent wasn't paid, then pay it. If it's because the Tenant is breaking the lease or house rules in some other way, stop breaking the lease. But it may also have to do with when you try. If you are in a "grace period" -- that means there's a lease provision that says you can't be evicted without being given a time period to try to fix ("cure") the problem -- then before the end of the grace period. If it's after that and the landlord has spent the time and money to take you to court, you may have a harder time and usually must cover the landlord's attorney fees and court costs too. And if there's no grace period, less chance.


What can landlord do if the tenant has not signed a new lease but still in apartment?

How do you get squatters out?

You would need to file a lawsuit against them for a legal eviction. I strongly advise that you retain an attorney to do this. If you win your lawsuit, then the sheriff will forcefully remove them from the premises.
