A landlord can evict you no matter what because it's her property and she can do whatever she wants with it. But if you think of it, if she doesn't own the property anymore, who would you pay rent to, and you just can't live there for free and I'm pretty sure you can't pay the bank rent.

Is the tenant still responsible to pay the landlord rent even after they had signs posted that it is in foreclosure and is up for auction in 4 months?

Of course. You are still living there and your landlord's finances do not impact yours. He is still entitled to rent or can simply evict you.


Can a landlord evict a guest for a noise complaint if the tenant was causing the noise?

Yes. If a tenant is not in the habit of making a lot of noise then the landlord would not have much grounds to evict them. However, if a tenant is a problem for other renters, how a landlord evicts someone depends on the state in which he lives. Usually, a landlord could evict a person even if they have a lease for violating city codes for noise. A landlord would be wise to put such stipulations in their leases. This is based on the number of complaints the police receive concerning the noise or the number of complaints a landlord receives. In some states, all a landlord has to do is send a registered letter to the tenant notifying them of the complaint and that they are on notice to cease and desist or face eviction. If the tenant continues to bother others with their noise, then the landlord can notify the Sheriff's Department to evict the tenant. Of course this will not prevent the tenant from taking the landlord to court. This is why the landlord needs to keep good records and copies of police reports concerning the tenant to use in court.


Is an eviction process required to evict a non - tenant of a tenant when neither party has a rental agreement in California Both have been in the property for about 1 month?

I'm no lawyer but... A non-tenant is likely considered a guest of the tenant. If they are not welcome, they are a trespasser. The landlord should let the tenant have peaceful enjoyment of the premises. The tenant should be able to call the police and have the non-tenant removed.


If a co-tenant does not pay the rent on an apartment can the other tenant evict him?

When more than one person signed the lease each is responsible for the full amount of the rent if the other refuses to pay their share. The ability to evict the co-tenant who won't pay their share varies under different jurisdictions. In some cases only the landlord can evict a tenant. You should contact a landlord-tenant agency in your area or an attorney who specializes in tenant issues.


Can a landlord put a tenant out for a drug bust or do we have to evict them?

No landlord should ever be kicking a tenant out himself. Go to court and get an order. Most states have a very accelerated process for evicting based on drugs and other crimes. In Massachusetts, where it normally takes at least seven weeks to have a tenant out, a landlord can evict based on drugs in four days. State and local laws should be checked out. And, different laws may apply in other countries.

Can landlord evict for confronting about forecloser?

No. You have the right to ask questions about this matter as every tenant who faces the uncertainty of his landlord being under foreclosure. But remember: as long as the landlord has control of the property he can still collect rent from you and evict you if you don't pay it.


Can a landlord evict someone living on their property when they haven't signed a lease?

I am presuming we have three components here: a landlord, a tenant, and a subtenant. The landlord in this case is presumably renting to a tenant, while the tenant is presumably renting to a subtenant. I presume that tenant has a lease while the subtenant doesn't. The tenant becomes the landlord for the subtenant. Since there is no lease (in most states subletting does not involve a lease) in this case, the tenant who is the subtenant landlord can evict the subtenant. While the main landlord can evict the tenant -which automatically evicts the subtenant -only the tenant can evict the subtenant. But the main landlord can evict all by evicting the tenant.


Can a landlord evict a non tenant from rental property after a year of living at the property?

Yes, the landlord can evict a non-tenant from the property just as they could the tenant. You must follow the same eviction procedures as you would with a tenant.On a side note, a court may agree that the non-tenant was in fact a tenant-after the fact because of the duration in which they lived on the property. Such situations are similar to families with children. You have the adults on the lease, but the children are residing there without being on the lease.


Do you have to pay rent to a landlord who's property is in default?

Yes, you have to pay rent to a landlord whose property is in default. As long as the landlord still has control over the property he can still collect rent from you and evict you if it's not paid. A foreclosure of a home is a matter between the owner of the home and his lender, not the tenant.

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.


Is it legal to evict someone for mental reasons?

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.
