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?

If they come up with all money that is owed for rent and damages, the judge will let them stay. But that's all you want anyways.

When you say "eviction letter" what do you mean? Do you mean a "pay or quit notice"? When you accept payments, don't accept partials unless you're sure that the person will be able to pay the remainder. If you accept partials, you're setting yourself up for a precedent of allowing the tenant to pay you partials. When are they paying you the remainder?

Was there a previous lease? If so the lease would renew on a month to month basis after the first year. If he gives the tenant 30 days notice they must leave within that time if they do not then yes he will need to evict them.

I accepted half the rent 10 days ago and since , the tenant has not paid the rest.... I want to evict her because this is not acceptable. Can I just send her a 3 day pay or vacate ?

Start the eviction process for everyone and get new renters in there ASAP. If you file an eviction with the court you will be all set that if they try to come back in 4 months that they have already been evicted. As for the cousin cut him loose he is not on the lease. He has no right being in the house. Get the house ready for showing and change the lock once you have new renters.

Tamara I would seek out an attorney immediately. If they are experienced at this then they will know how to cheat the system. An attorney will be able to advise you the best.

I am sorry Tamara, we at ezlandlordforms cannot lend legal information or advice. We are not lawyers and agree with David on this issue. Please seek professional advice from a lawyer or contact your local court to find out the best way to proceed. Good luck!

The tenants cannot break the lease, if they do you are entitled to security and rents owed. It is an unfortunate situation but it is not Life threatening. If they do move out you will want to find new roommates asap and would probably want to start clean and ask that all of them vacate the premises. As for Utah law you would want to contact a lawyer in regards to how the best war to carry this out would be.

Yes you can evict them immediately, make sure to gather all proof of the breach and send the proper notices to perform or quit. Then file the eviction with the court Take note of damages and the receipt or estimate from contractors for repairs.

If they have been in the rental for over 30 days, you would have to follow regular Ohio tenant eviction procedure. Which starts with delivering a 3 Day Notice.

First step is to make sure that when writing documents your autocorrect is off or at least edited to catch any mistakes. Second you will want to file everything with the court, certain cities have evictions law preventing eviction in winter months and other things like that. Your local court who you will file with will know the law and advice you on the best steps. If they are on a month-to-month basis now start with a 30 day notice and feel a service of notice with the court so that you are ahead of the game. Usually people will move given the time to do so, 30 days is standard.

Yes you can start advertising early. You can even show the property but you must still give the proper 24 hour notice. There is no regulation that you cannot have access to the property and the tenant cannot deny you.

You can evict them for refusing to let you into the property if you have given the proper notice. First step issue a notice to quit and set a move out date. Also let them know that you are filing eviction with the court. You will need to submit a service of notice to the court and must give the tenant the proper amount of time in your state and city. Your court house would know the local regulations. Good Luck and don't expect it to go to smoothly unless all of your ducks are in a row and paperwork is in order.

It really depends on what it is for, is it for non-payment or for illegal action or for breaking the lease. Depending on your state there are different amounts of time that you must give for each notice. You can however start an eviction immediately, and when you do you would want to file the with the court that you sent a notice.
