File for an injuctive order declaring that the person is not a tenant, and they have to leave. A Housing Court might be a good idea, if available.

Added: Agree with above answer - also- it may depend on how long the 'squatter' has been occupying the premises. He might have become a 'tenant' by 'right of adverse possession.' You will have to do some checking into the local statutes that govern landlord/tenant relations in your julrisdiction.

Can you evict the spouse of a tenant if the spouse's name is not on the lease only the tenant's?

In general, if the spouse is not listed on the lease, they may not have legal rights to remain in the rental property. However, eviction laws can vary by location, so it is important to consult with a legal professional or local housing authority for guidance on the specific situation. It may be necessary to provide notice to the tenant and spouse before proceeding with eviction.


Should you have to move because you broke your lease helping a family member?

If you break your lease to help a family member, you should review your lease agreement and check for any clauses related to breaking the lease. Communicate with your landlord about your situation and try to reach a mutual agreement. In some cases, landlords may allow you to break the lease without penalty if the reason is valid.


Can you put a six year old child out of the house who is on the lease?

No, it is not legal or ethical to evict a six-year-old child from a home they are residing in, even if they are listed on the lease. The child's well-being and safety should be a top priority, and alternative solutions should be sought in situations of conflict or disagreement between the adults involved.

How do you evict a roommate in your apartment if you and one other person are on the lease and the roommate that you want to evict is not?

First of all, you and the other person on the lease must agree that the roommate should be evicted. Then, you should sit down with the roommate and try to work out a plan for the roommate to leave. Any agreement you can work out will be far easier and cheaper than using the legal process (see below).Next, if the roommate has agreed to pay rent, buy groceries, etc. (which means he/she is not a guest) you must give the roommate written notice to leave. 20 days' notice is what most states require, but you should check out your state's law. If the roommate still refuses to leave, then you must evict him/her in the same way a landlord evicts a tenant. See How Do You Evict a Tenant? below.If the roommate is a guest, then you will need to file a lawsuit for ejection against the roommate. Unless you are an expert at your state's civil court procedure, you will need to hire an attorney to represent you in the lawsuit.

How does a leasing tenant evict a nontenant who does not have a lease with primary tenant and does not pay rent but has mail deliverd to property address?

If they are not a tenant, they are probably considered your guest under the law and therefore a trespasser if not welcome. You may be able to mark the mail "return to sender" but again, check before doing something.

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.
