Does the landlord have mental reasons or does the tenant? It's against the law for a landlord to discriminate on the basis of disability, inter alia. So a landlord can't evict someone just because he has a mental illness or disability. However if the tenant damages any property, whether it is for reasons related to the illess, he can evict.

If one has a mental illness can they be evicted?

In my state it is illegal to evict a mentally ill person. A eviction can take place if the person is delinquent on the rent. It is wrong to discriminate. When it is an illness it is not the person's fault. Get a lawyer and seek legal counseling. I am not a lawyer but one can help you immensely.


Is it legal in Florida to evict 19 year old?

If the house or whatever it is is not owned by them and in their name they can. Anyone can be evicted at anytime, unless a contract has been signed. However, if the person you are wishing to evict broke the rules of the contract, then you can. The only time someone can't be evicted is if they are a minor living at home with their parents. Obviously. Hope I was of some help to you.

is it legal to evict a tenant without going to court ?

The only way you can evict a tenant without going to court is if the tenant leaves voluntarily. Otherwise, you cannot use self help and simply go in and remove their property or change the locks. You are required to go to the landlord tenant court and obtain a court order in order to evict someone. An order will only be entered after the court schedules a hearing and notice of the hearing is given to the tenant.

Can sibling evict me from parents home after parents death 6 years ago?

You haven't provided enough detail. The answer depends on who owns the property now. The parents estate must be probated in order for legal title to pass to the heirs under the Will or under the laws of intestacy if there was no Will. The legal owner can evict anyone who is not an owner.If the parent died while being the sole owner of the real estate and their estate was not probated yet then your sibling doesn't have the authority to evict you.

Can someone with a Power of attorney for someone who inherited his mothers property evict without notice if he sells property in Ohio?

The person in the property (the tenant) will have a lease. This is a legal document which sets out how the tenant may be evicted (but can not ignore the federal or state laws that may also apply). This lease is between the tenant and the landlord (whoever the landlord may be) and it will normally specify a period of notice that the landlord MUST give the tenant if the landlord wishes to evict the tenant. So look at the lease and get an attorney if you are worried.
