If the bank never repossessed your car and you gave to your landlord for back rent then your wages were garnished after it's paid off can you get possession of your car back?

It was never yours to give to the landlord. IF the landlord settled with the LENDER to get title, then YOU are out of the picture completely. EXCEPT for the garnishment of course.


Tenant files for chapter7 bankruptcy?

When a tenant files for bankruptcy, this will apply to any money tenant owes. In the case of rents, which is not a form of credit, you still must pay to landlord your rent or face the probability of eviction. If you owe your landlord back rent and declare bankruptcy, then you can include this back rent as part of your debt. Back rent is considered a form of credit, because you owe this money to your landlord and he has continued to grant you the right to stay there. It should be noted that whenever a landlord commences eviction proceedings against a tenant, it is never on the grounds of owing back rent. Your landlord's claims against you in small claims court covers that issue.


Do you still owe rent after being evicted if their was no lease involed?

This is somewhat you mean by owing rent. If you were evicted for nonpayment of rent than the landlord could sue you for the money you owe in back rent. Since there was no lease involved, your landlord cannot sue for future rent.

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 sued the Landlord and he lost, he must give you your deposit. However he can separately sue you for damages. Whether he wins that lawsuit or not, he must give you your deposit!

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.


Can my landlord legally move all my things out of my house while i went out of the country to work for 3 months and destroy it if we never had a lease in the past 2 years?

I used to be a property manager in Iowa and Illinois, so depending on the state laws it varies. But these two states if it is due to non-payment, then they have to notify you with a notorized letter, then they have to file at the local courthouse for evition. Once that is done then there is a court date and if you don't show up then usually the judge will give the landlord immediate possession. I know that even if you don't have a lease, the landlord still legally has to go through the eviction process. If its for something other then non-payment then there is usually some sort of 30-day notice given to the tenant, then the eviction process at the courthouse again. If this doesn't help you then you can always call your local courthouse. One more thing, legally after the whole process the items are suppose to be sat out on the curb for anyone to take or for trash and that gives the tenant a very short time to collect their belongings. Usually for that the landlord is suppose to be escorted by the sheriff's dept.


Can you be charged with harboring a runaway if the other person was never filed as a runaway?

Technically, you cannot be charged with harboring a runaway if the person has not been classifed as a runaway. However, if the person is found in your possession and they have no reason to be with you, then the police have every reason to question you.


Can a landlord give you an eviction notice just because he sold the home without your knowledge. Never been behind in rent and have lived there for many yrs?

Yes, he can. I don't know of any state that requires a landlord to inform a tenant of a sale. And, in many states, a sale terminates a lease or tenancy at will. Also, in any state except New Jersey, a landlord can terminate the tenancy for no reason at all. Many states have laws that allow a tenant to remain (paying rent), for six months, twelve if elderly or handicapped.
