Is the tenant required to give notice when already in receipt of an eviction notice in writing by the landlords?
If there is a final date by which you must vacate included in the eviction notice, no, unless you simply wish to confirm your receipt of it.
Can you get an eviction notice for your wife?
Any tenant can be served an eviction notice. An eviction notice starts the court process to remove an occupant from the premises. In addition to the court process, a landlord may report the tenant to NoPayTenants.com.
Can a landlord refuse repairs if rent is delinquent?
not in any state. To get repairs, the tenant needs to give the LL 30 days to make any repairs. If not done, the tenant is to call licensed contractors who do the kinds of work done that the tenant needs done. THE tenant pays the contractor and gets a receipt. The tenant gives a copy of the receipt and any remaining rent [gross rent minus that amount paid for repairs] due to the landlord.

How long is the eviction process from start to finish in Fl?
This depends upon the reason for the eviction, as the process is normally faster when it's an eviction for nonpayment of rent. An eviction process for this type of eviction is about three weeks from the date the eviction is filed, keeping in mind that before the eviction can get filed the landlord must post a three day notice on the door or deliver it otherwise to the tenant. If the eviction is for other reasons than the process can be longer but the tenant will still have to pay rent, more likely to the clerk's office instead of the landlord (the landlord will eventually get that money -14% in fees for the clerk).
What if the tenant does not leave date stated on notice to quit?
The tenant would have to leave after an eviction, which is why a sheriff officer observes the whole process of the tenant removing their possessions out of the property and the landlord changing the locks to the property. If they do not remove their possessions, they generally become your property (under normal conditions).
Is it legal for tenant in pa to change locks without permission or notification tenant will not return call home needs repairs and tenant is going to sue just found out about repairs last week?
You can countersue for eviction and keep the security deposit if the tenant has not followed proper procedures for notifying you, the landlord, of repairs that are needed. Generally locks may not be changed by the landlord or tenant without the other's permission and the reconciliation of the keys to the new lock. But this must be so stated on the lease in order for it to be enforced.
What rights does a tenant have in an unlawful self help eviction by the landlord that led to great bodily harm and disability of the tenant that now faces lawful eviction and needs more time?
We have three different issues here: an illegal eviction, which appears to have been resolved; an allegation that the illegal eviction has resulted in great bodily harm and disability by the landlord; and that now the tenant needs more time (for what? I presume to find another dwelling). It appears that the illegal eviction has been resolved, or the tenant would not be living on the property now and need more time. So this issue is cleared. Next, the tenant claims that during the illegal eviction the landlord has caused great bodily harm and disability to the tenant. This is an issue that needs to go to civil court for remedy. Now, the tenant states he needs more time - I presume time to find another place, now that a legal eviction process has begun. If the eviction process has begun due to lack of payment, there is no time that the court will give you to remedy this situation: you must follow the court's procedures in answering this eviction. In Florida, this means that the tenant will have to pay to the clerk of your court the amount of money the landlord claims the tenant owes them, in order to secure a court date. If the pending process result in a new month, the tenant will have to continue to pay the clerk's office the money that the tenant would've had to pay the landlord. If landlord wins the eviction, they will receive that money minus 14%.
If a tenant pays some of the judgment against him during the eviction process can he stay in dwelling?
Most courts can only allow a tenant to stay if the tenant has the entire arrearage. Some courts won't even do that.
Can an eviction notice simply be handed to a tenant without going through a court process?
This depends on the state in which you reside. And it depends on what you mean by an eviction notice. In most states, before an eviction can be filed in court, a notice has to be given to the tenant -- normally three to five days -- by hand, asking the tenant to pay his rent or to move. If the tenant doesn't pay his rent by that time then you may begin to file eviction proceedings. Once you do this, only the sheriff's office, Constable, etc. of your jurisdiction may serve an official notice, thereto known as a summons for eviction, to which the tenant must respond by following the instructions on the front page.
What is an opposition filing during an eviction process?
You're probably referring to an "answer", which is the tenant's response (including counterclaims) to the eviction complaint. If there was a reason the tenant did not pay rent, he would want to list the reason in his answer. He might also file "discovery', where he asks questions of the landlord.
