eviction

Our tenant is way behind on their rent. they have been promising to pay but have not made any payment for over a month. We found out that he no longer has his job. We gave them a three day eviction notice, can we change the locks after three days if they decide not to leave?

This seems more of a domestic dispute. I would contact your local authorities (police department) and ask them how this type of situation is handled. If they tell you through the courts, then you want to give them proper notice according to CO law. Then yo can start an eviciton.
It is hard having a tenant dis-respect you and your property. But the one thing I must say is you CANNOT afford not to file to evict your tenant as the damages and non-payment will add up. In Florida for non-payment of rent, you must give a 3 Day notice before filing. I believe one is offered through this web-site. For the other offenses, a 7 day notice is given to give your tenant a chance to fix the situation. If the situation is not fixed within the 7 days, then you can go to court and file against them. I would try to obtain the police reports and check with your local courthouse. Sometimes speedy procedures are in effect for criminal activities. And there is a cost involved for a lawyer, it can save you MUCH time and aggravation. Many even offer free initial consultations.
When you are renting a room in your own home; some states have different rules for eviction. But usually, you will still have to go through the court system. Soemtimes if there is no established proof of residency on the tenant's side, the police will get involved. Minnesota has specific requirements for eviction and I would contact your local clerk of court if the police are of no assistance.
Send written notices! This way they know yo mean business and if you have to, send them a notice for eviction if they are too late on the rent. Sometimes you just have to be tough.
Ok, there is no lease and no contract, but even in a private home an eviction notice has to be given?
Is the truck registered properly? Have you tried contacting the police to see if they can do something for you? This is a bit different - I would think that this is not really a landlord tenant situation.
what are restrictions if any to evict someone in springfield mo? i have verbally told them to call if they would be late. they wont. i have told them to pay late fees many times. they wont. they pay rent whenever they want to.what proper things do i need to do? i want to make sure i am doing right.
It depends on the type of and length of the Lease.  What do you have?
What is the legal time frame for notice to pay rent or quit and evictions in Clark County in Washington State.  Thank you
Also, if the person is not on the Lease, they can be seen as a trespasser.  There are civil and criminal penalties for this.
This depends on many things. Why do you want to evict? Why aren't you going after the one who IS on the Lease? Technically, the one who signs the lease is the responsible party BUT if you know of someone who is living there and not on the Lease and they are of age, to cover bases, I think I would include them in any of the notices.
rentivating house
It is a great question, Kathleen. Again, I agree that you need to use the lease and the terms of the lease on any of these issues. Otherwise, you are working without a net! This website has great resources for this.
When you say 7 days, Nadirah, do you mean you want them out in 7 days? Is there a section in the lease that permits that?
i need a 7 dyay eviction notice
