You first have to reference your lease. Does it say anything in there that you are limited to the number of people living in your unit? Or, something to the affect that you are the only one allowed or have to notify landlord of anyone additional that moves in? The lease basically spells out any and all aspects of your agreement. If its not in there, then no, there very little they can do about it. Unless, too many people live in a certain size apartment, which would be a code violation and that would override the lease. Just have the roomate go and speak with the landlord. Offer to fill out an application. BE NICE. Let him meet them. Usually, it can be resolved in this manner instead of in court. But if not, they have to give the normal amount of time required for your particular state to be removed from tennancy. Hopefully, that wont happen if you just speak with him.

If you have signed a six month lease can the landlord want to move back into the house after one month?

The landlord can only seek possession during a fixed term of a tenancy (for example the first six months of a shorthold tenancy) on the grounds shown in italic type. Mandatory grounds - for which the landlord must have advised the tenant in writing before the tenancy began that s/he might be seeking possession: * Your landlord used to live in the house and wants it back (at least two months notice must be given) * The house has been repossessed and the mortgage company need to sell the house with vacant possession (at least two months notice must be given) * Your house is needed for a minister of religion and you were given notice of this when you moved in (at least two months notice must be given) * The tenancy is for a fixed term of not more than eight months and within a year before you moved in the house was let as a holiday home (at least two weeks notice must be given) * The tenancy is for a fixed term of not more than 12 months and within a year of moving in the house was let to students by the place where they were studying and you were given written notice of this before you moved in (at least two weeks notice must be given).

If you respond to an eviction notice and pay the rent owed to the court is it possible to have the eviction stopped?

Answeryes it is possible to have the eviction stopped all you have to do is talk to your landlord and tell them that you will pay the money and if you pay it before or on your court date most likely they will let you finish out your leaseAnswerProvided that you were given the proper pre-eviction notices (as required by your state's laws), the landlord is not required to dismiss the eviction lawsuit after it has been filed. Even with full payment, the landlord can demand that you vacate and surrender the property.If after a eviction notice is filed and landlord accepts payment (in full) from you the eviction becomes null and void. They can only evict you for non payment and you have to be in non payment status at the time you go to court. However, if you have the money to pay your rent in full prior to the court date, the landlord has the right to refuse the payment.


Does the landlord have to knock before entering the property if 24 hours notice is given to the tenant?

It depends on your contract, but it is a very common courtesy that if you are renting form him he should provide. though if you are not home expect that the landlord will enter.


What is a month to month lease?

Well, technically, it's impossible. A tenancy is either a month-to-month tenanccy at will, or a lease for a term. With a tenancy-at-will, either party can cancel with a full month notice. With a lease, the contract runs for a set period, usually a year. Some leases renew themselves automatically if notice to terminate is not given. Others just terminate naturally.

How can I get a roomate to leave my house because she is an alcoholic and I am trying to stay soberShe is abusive and I am afraid of her There is No Lease and she owes back rentI live in Fl?

You will need to check with Florida laws on squatter rights. If not done properly, she could sue you in a court of law. You must give written notice of her to evacuate. In most states this is a 30 day notice. Once notice is given and the time frame expires, you may then proceed to take her to small claims court to recover any unpaid wages or damages.


How much notice to give roommates when moving out?

Housing notifications are usually left up to state laws, but the time for notification is usually 30 days in most states. If there is a lease for a determined period, 60 days should be given and the roommate leaving should help find a new roommate because that person would be responsible for the rent for the entire lease if no other roommate is found.


How does one deal with a crazy roommate?

Well you don't... But it all depends. If he/she doesn't clean up after themselves, throws parties, makes a mess in the bathroom well you would then have to make some sort of proposal (and no, not the one involving a ring...) So you could say that you wont pay rent, or you make a trade. Crazy roommate cleans up after his/herself, and then you do something for said person. But, your crazy roommate may not be messy or whatever. Maybe this person just has a different of looking at life. Doesn't feel emotion because they don't want to get attached. Only thinks logically or rationally, as his/her own way of dealing with the world as we know it. You haven't given me a lot to work with, with just saying 'crazy' crazy could be anything.... Well it's more than likely that we both have different 'definitions' of the word crazy...


Could the landlord evict me if i never been served with a notice or an unlawful detainer?

I believe it varies from city to city, but most all would require some kind of notice, and proof that notice was given. Read your lease contract to know for sure. It's prossible you may have waved those rights when you signed, or agreed to different terms.


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 a landlord evict someone if they did not sign the rental agreement?

Yes and no. If a lease is not signed, then the tenancy is considered a month-to-month tenancy, which could be terminated at any time, given proper notice, if both parties agree to this.
