A landlord must file an eviction through the Civil Court in order to evict a tenant.
The only way you can evict a tenant without going to court is if the tenant leaves voluntarily. Otherwise, you cannot use self help and simply go in and remove their property or change the locks. You are required to go to the landlord tenant court and obtain a court order in order to evict someone. An order will only be entered after the court schedules a hearing and notice of the hearing is given to the tenant.
No. Before any tenant is evicted from a property, the landlord must follow judicial proceedings.
yes
It is illegal for a landlord to deny access or prevent access to a tenant without having formally completed a legal eviction process. The tenant should contact local law enforcement for help with accessing their property if they are denied access illegally. If the court agrees with the tenant, it will order a law enforcement officer to help the tenant get back in. If the court decides that the landlord knew (or should have known) that the lockout or other exclusion was unlawful, the court may order the landlord to pay the tenant up to triple damages or $500, whichever is greater, plus reasonable attorney's fees. Minn. Stat. 504.225 (1992)
In order to evict a commercial tenant, they have to had broke a rule in the contract. If they have done that, the owner has to file for eviction in legal court, from there they will receive their notice to leave.
You can sue them in court.
Yes, the landlord is responsible. But keep in mind that this is not a landlord/tenant issue: it's a small claims issue. So this is heard in a small claims court inquired, not a landlord/tenant court.
I dont believe they can. Even though it is the landlords property, when it is rented out to a tenant then it does not mean they are able to come in and out as pleased. You have right when you are a tenant. I know that they need to have a notice requirement to enter.
In most states if there is evidence of abandonment of the property by the tenant, the landlord can reclaim the property without going to court. If the tenant owes money the landlord can sue in absentia (must use tenant's last known address) for unpaid money and damages if applicable. If he leaves personal belongings you can dispose of them as you see fit.
No.
When a tenant doesn't pay his rent the landlord may begin eviction proceedings in court, which forces the tenant to move.
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.
