Can you put tenant in a sentence?
Our tenant always pays his rent on time.
How long will you have to move out after a foreclosure?
It sort of depends....not uncommonly, you've been put out sometime before. But, if your there after the new owner buys, he basically has to get you moved out like he would a tenant. Get the Sheriff to do so How long that takes varies by locale...how busy the sheriff is, etc. 2 - 4 weeks is common.
Is it okay to put a for rent sign even if your current tenant is 17 days away from moving out?
You can put the sign up any time. If you actually rent it for August 1 (take money), and the current tenant doesn't leave, you may have a legal obligation to put the new tenant up, and store their belongings, until the old tenant leaves.
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.
If a tenant put up showers in there place and there having trouble with them now who is responsible to fix it?
The tenant is responsible for what ever they put up in the unit, first they need to ask the landlord if they have permission, it is a much better idea that the landlord should make all the necessary changes, that way the tenant does not have the responsibility nor the costs. If the landlord declines and the tenant goes ahead anyway, the tenant can leave themselves wide open to be sued for damages if anything goes wrong.
If your tenant is in default of the lease does the landlord have to right to change the locks?
Matters such a locks are usually covered in a written lease. If it's not covered or if there is no written lease you probably can. BUT, you must give the landlord a key. The landlord has the right to enter in an emergency and upon reasonable notice to the tenant to inspect the premises. Keep in mind that landlord / tenant relationships without a written lease are generally governed by state law, so the conclusion may differ from state to state. When I was a landlord, there was an option to change the keys for a tenant. I had it done at my cost and held a key. Most locksmiths will not change the keys if you do not own the home. In many commercial leases the tenant is EXPECTED to change the locks and the landlord may not want to even have a key. For example, when renting a self-storage unit, the tenant would typically add his or her own lock to the unit. Upon default or emergency, the landlord would simply break the lock to gain entry, then put on a new lock.
Can a sheriff repossess your car for your lender?
Well to put it simply..... YES
Under what conditions can a landlord lock out a tenant?
Probably. A landlord has no right to enter without the tenant's permission, and being in the unit without the tenant present - even with the tenant's permission - is usually a bad idea. Therefore, if only the tenant has a key, the landlord is actually protecting himself from some liability. If the tenant changes the locks, he should save the original lockset, and put it back when he leaves.
What are the steps one should take to rent a room out to a tenant?
First, you should check both your city's and state's laws about renting your home out. You should then determine what exactly you're renting out and how much you'll be charging for it and put out an ad for a tenant. Screen those who desire to live in your house to make sure they're a good fit, create a written rental agreement, and you're done!
How much it will cost you to evict a tenant?
There are many factors to consider when calculating the cost of evicting a tenant. In landlord utopia (that is, where you have a tenant who works for the government and drives a Bentley with Gucci seats) the cost of the eviction is technically nothing--you would be awarded a judgment against the tenant for all your costs (if you win your case). The tenant would then have to pay you. Absent a utopian tenant, you will end up with a judgment that can't be collected for years (if ever).These are the costs of eviction* Preparation of eviction summons and complaint*Cost to attend court hearings or cost to hire attorney to represent you in court*Eviction lawsuit filing fee*Trial preparation (if the eviction is contested)*Sheriff's Fee (to evict the tenant)*Lost rent (while the eviction is pending)*Moving and Storage Fees (if the tenant does not object, you must store the tenant's property according to law)I have not put dollar amounts in because they vary from state to state. A landlord's group in your area can give you the specific dollar amounts for eviction in your state. Please see the Related Questions below for more information.
Does a landlord check credit history on a tenant?
If you believe they put a pede on the moon, pede on the moon! ;)
You are sick of deadbeat living in your home without paying rent?
Then you need to consult with an attorney or a landlord-tenant assistance agency and find out how to evict the slacker. It may not be difficult. You may only need to give them 30 days notice and then you can obtain a court order that will be carried out by the police of sheriff. They will put him/her out for you. You should act ASAP.
