An eviction definitely! With a broken lease, you are still paying your landlord the rent that you own him and will probably be paying a fee to break the lease. With an evicition, the renter probably has stopped paying the rent or has damaged the property or has been doing something illegal like growing marijuana on the property.

Is a person on a joint lease responsible for the entire amount when the other lease holder cannot pay their share?

Yes. Persons who enter into joint rental/lease agreements are responsibile for the entire amount even when one of them defaults unless they want to risk eviction and perhaps civil penalties.


If you break any provision of the lease what recourse does the landlord have?

This depends on how serious or repetitious the violation is. A landlord can give you some time to correct the violation or can ask you to leave. If the landlord chooses the latter, he can choose not to renew the lease, terminate it with some notice, such as 30 days or less, or terminate it immediately by means of an eviction (an eviction is actually a court proceeding, not just a request for you to move. If you move per the request without the matter heading to court you will not have an eviction record, which could jeopardize your housing choice voucher if you have one and your ability to get into another home).


Can you be evicted after being 30 days late?

In Arizona eviction procedures should start at 5 days late. Your state and lease may have a different number of days but bottomline you can't live there unless you pay your rent. Any days late is not right, irritates the landlord, may cause late penalties and will cause eventual eviction procedures. In Arizona eviction procedures should start at 5 days late.

Can a landlord evict you if you signed a lease option to purchase?

That it is a "lease - with an option to purchase" makes no difference. You would be subject to eviction like any lease tennant, the same as if it didn't have an option. (Agreeably , you MAY still have the option to exercise your right to purchase rather than move, if you are able to perform as required by the Option agreement. It is also possible, and said in most contracts, that breeching the lease eliminates the Option).


Does the tenant have to pay the rent during a 30 day eviction when they are on a month to month oral lease?

Hey, if the leasor allowed oral lease then no grounds on which to pursue the person. They can say they told you the PREVIOUS 30 day period. Get EVERYTHING in writing. This only helps the leasee to walk away without paying if there is no written agreement on how the lease ends.

What is the definition of eviction?

Eviction occurs when a landlord files a legal suit against a tenant to force them to vacate the property. The landlord cannot actually perform the eviction, he or she must go to court, win, and have the Sheriff carry out the eviction order. Eviction usually happens as a result of nonpayment of rent, or can occur when other conditions of a lease are broken such as failing to keep the premises in a clean and sanitary condition.

When there is no lease do I need a written eviction notice?

Wait, I misunderstood your question, do you want an eviction on your record? It will be harder to get another apartment in the future and it stays on your permanent record. So, If you are not paying rent and you have no lease and you think the eviction will give you some spare time you are right but it will screw up your future. You should talk to your landlord and do it amicably.

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.
