If it can be proved that eviction will cause immense hardship or harm the tenant permanently, the eviction can be stayed. That, however, takes the intervention of a judge.
No, a stay of eviction is simply a delay in the eviction process, which may be the result of a dispute, such as of how much rent to pay.
A stay of eviction is a temporary hold on the eviction process that a court sometimes issues for some extraordinary reason. If a tenant is evicted, but there would be a substantial hardship on the tenant or the family, the tenant may apply for a stay of eviction. If there is a genuine hardship, the court will order a temporary halt in the eviction process but only until the hardship or until a reasonable time for the tenant to take care of the hardship passes. In many cases, if a tenant is evicted in mid-month, he or she will not be able to find new quarters until the first of the month after the month that immediately follows the eviction. Hardly any court will put a family and its belongings on the street at least for one month. This gives the evicted tenant some time to find a new home.
If an eviction notice has been given to you, the proper process is that a court date would be set. If you have a hardship such as a newborn baby or taking care of a terminally ill relative, the court may grant you the permission to stay. If the court decides that you were negligent on paying your rent, you will be given at least a 30 day notice to vacate.
"How long do you have till an eviction is off of your credit?" i am looking for an apartment but i have an eviction that's about 9 years old. the question on the aplication is have i ever been evicted? do i say yes or no? how do i find out if its still there?
What record? The court's records are permanent.Added: And so is your credit history.
That depends on what state you are in. Some have them online, but the courthouse where the case was filed would surely have them.
If you believe the eviction was retaliatory, then you must state that as an affirmative defense in your answer to the landlord's complaint for eviction. Since the laws can get quite complicated, I recommend you check with a tenant's rights group in your area for an attorney referral or look in the phone book for attorneys who give "free consultations."
An eviction can negatively impact your credit score if it results in unpaid debts being sent to collections. This can stay on your credit report for up to seven years. It's important to try to resolve any outstanding debts related to the eviction to minimize the impact on your credit score.
This justifies the use of this word, in a sentence.
in a commercial eviction does the landlord need to apply to a court for an eviction notice?
The benefits-received principle justifies a regressive tax.
