Yes, since the bank, lender or landlord now officially has possession, you can be charged with trespassing if you refuse to leave when ordered by a sheriff's deputy. If you try to fight the deputy, you can face even more serious charges, such as battery on a law enforcement officer. It's even a felony in most places. If you attempt to reenter the house after the eviction has been completed, you can be charged with burglary or breaking and entering.

NOT that I know of. call a local attorney for state specific advice. It's not a threat.

Creditors and/or their representatives cannot threaten to have you arrested or make threats period.

In what city did Rosa Parks get arrested for refusing togive up her seat on a bus to a white man?

Rosa Parks was in Montgomery, Alabama, on December 1st, 1955. It was there, on a bus going home, that she was asked to give up her seat to a white passenger. The mixture of tiredness and carelessness had finally gotten to her. She, of course, refused to leave her seat. As a result, she was arrested on the charge of indecent behaviour.


If husband is on a lease and being evicted does the wife have the right to stay at property?

You will probably need to provide more details, including the jurisdiction and the terms of the lease, but generally speaking: If the lease is in the husband's name only, then after he is evicted there is no valid lease; the wife certainly has no "right" to remain at a property which a) does not belong to her and b) she does not have a valid lease for, and the landlord very definitely has the right to have her evicted or possibly even arrested for trespass if she tries to stay. If both names are on the lease and the landlord CHOOSES to evict the husband only (IANAL, but this seems somewhat messy to me, and it may or may not be legally enforceable), there's not really a question of "rights": the landlord chose not to force the wife to leave, so it's up to her whether she wants to go with her husband or not.
