Can a landlord put a tenant out for a drug bust or do we have to evict them?
No landlord should ever be kicking a tenant out himself. Go to court and get an order. Most states have a very accelerated process for evicting based on drugs and other crimes. In Massachusetts, where it normally takes at least seven weeks to have a tenant out, a landlord can evict based on drugs in four days. State and local laws should be checked out. And, different laws may apply in other countries.
If a co-tenant does not pay the rent on an apartment can the other tenant evict him?
When more than one person signed the lease each is responsible for the full amount of the rent if the other refuses to pay their share. The ability to evict the co-tenant who won't pay their share varies under different jurisdictions. In some cases only the landlord can evict a tenant. You should contact a landlord-tenant agency in your area or an attorney who specializes in tenant issues.
Steps to evict a lease to own tenant who contract is expired?
A lease to own tenant can be evicted from a property once their contract is expired if they have not completed the purchase. The steps to do this include establishing legal grounds for the eviction, providing the tenant with a notice of intent to evict, filing an unlawful retainer writ, and going to court.
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.
Is an eviction process required to evict a non - tenant of a tenant when neither party has a rental agreement in California Both have been in the property for about 1 month?
I'm no lawyer but... A non-tenant is likely considered a guest of the tenant. If they are not welcome, they are a trespasser. The landlord should let the tenant have peaceful enjoyment of the premises. The tenant should be able to call the police and have the non-tenant removed.
