A friend received a 10 day notice to move this morning, 4/12/06. It says she has 10 days to pay, or be out by April 30th. How long does she actually have to stay there, and what can she do to protect her & her children from being out on the street with no where to go?

she has to file a motion and tell them why you need longer time espically since there is children

Easy. Grow a pair of balls and tell her that she has 90 days to move out unless she pays rent. Tell here that when her 90days are up she will either pay the rent or you will throw her stuff out in the yard. \n\nIf she doesnt pay throw all of her stuff in the front yard and change the locks. \n\nIf you threaten her but do not follow through with it she will never respect you. \n\nBTW I am 25 maried w/ kids of my own. (Notice I can see it from her perspective as far as age is concerned and yours as far as a parents perspective is concerned

check out this web link \nwww.thelandlordacademy.com. \n\nYou have not received any such notice as of yet as you had stated ....no less than 5 days which would be Dec. 3. They gave a 30 day notice as to the rent increase, although, looks like they would also give you the option to move out by Dec 8 with out penalty. But do not expect them to let you stay for the 750.00.

Advise them to contact their bank or mortgage holder and apply for a hardship benefit. Most would rather help by reducing the payments than to foreclose on the property. This will help them keep their home. Worst case scenario, if they do foreclose on the house, it can take up to six months for the eviction process, so you do have time to find alternate arrangements. Contact the court and see if there are hardship allowances for your circumstances. You might have to stay in a shelter for a while, but its better than losing your child. Also see if your church can help you. They often have or know of organizations who assist women in special circumstances.

If you never actually signed the lease and just had a "verbal agreement" as they state there is a chance that you are legally bound, however, if this "verbal agreement" didn't dictate that you were to remain in the house and pay rent for the entire duration of the lease then its bogus.  Suggestions.....look up your states renting laws on the internet. Many states don't hold you liable if you are not actually a signer on the lease.  Also if its these girls that are holding you responsible - and not the landlord I'd say screw them, call the cops, and go get all yourt stuff. 95% of the time verbal agreements don't stand up in a court of law.  You could attest and say that the verbal agreement never stated when you could or couldn't move out and there is no proof to the contrary.  I'd say call those girls and tell them they have 8 hours to allow you to get your stuff or your called the police, legal they have NO RIGHT to deny to your property. Good Luck.

Read the small print where it indicates what options or reasons that may arise to allow to opt out of your lease.  Also is the lease legal? There may be parts of it that may not be legal.  Is there rent control in your area? In rent control areas, some Cities require leases to have only a 30 day termination notice.\n\nRemember a leases works both ways, how would you fell if the landlord / manager wanted you out soon after you moved in?

Well the eviction notice was intended for his mother(person on the lease). Since her 16 year old son is living there, though she is evicted. doesn't mean that being kicked out of their place doesn't apply to him.  It doesn't matter how old you are you can get kicked out of anywhere. If you're a friend help him to find somewhere to live wether it be with other family or a helpful friend. Since he's under age I wouldn't be surprised if the police step in and send cps to pick him up and put him in foster care.

30 days prior to your lease or rental agreement is over. If you don't pay, you'll get evicted. Just inform your landlord you're moving out unless they can lower your rent. \n\nThis only applies to when your lease or rental agreement is going to expire in 30 days. If you're in a middle of a lease, they cannot raise your rent. E-mail me if you have any questions.\n\nRegards

Nothing the owner has the right to sell her house whenever and to whomever she wants. If you didn't want to move before, why do you want to now? I would contact the current landlord and make sure that the terms of your current lease are still valid, and just continue on like before. Now if she is trying to change the terms and increase the rent then I could understand your having a problem, but as it stands why go through the expense of moving if you don't  have to. Now if she is suggesting you move for one reason or another then your lease can be considered broken and they would forfeit the right to any monies owed.

I just dealt with a case like this where an individual was told not to call on go near another person, they filled an order of protection and he ws not present.  He didn't even know it existed.  It was his own mother and step dad.  They lured him to the apartment complex by telling his aunt that his property was on the stoop.  He picked it up.  The next day he was just walking down the street and was picked up by police based on a description and arrested for violation a restraining order, fined and arrested.  I got him released ROR argueing the same points as some of your answers listed above but the short of it is he is going to county lock up if he doesn't beat the charge.  lawyers fees are expensive.  he can now only afford a public defender and they are way over worked, under paid and not to bright, I would expect probation or 30 days incarceration at county lock up and if you are not careful you will receive the same.  After the hearing the constable or someone will make one attempt to serve you and that is it.  You need to obey the order or face arrest.  Unless you have unlimited money for attorneys fee you shouldn't fight it.  Or you might be using the public pretenders office.  Work this out through a third party and be apologetic and humble.  Get this order dropped or you will run into this person and do some time.  This case was in Upstate NY but the laws are very common throughout the US and some places might add stalking.  Big jail time!  watch your step, the law is on the filers side, file a counter order asap.

The law varies from state to state on how much notice you must receive, but you cannot actually be evicted without a court order.  \n\nYou really need to find out the law in your state.

Having a real estate liscence and knowing the landlord tenant laws considering my family's business is in rental properties, I assure you that for being two days late it will be impossible for the landlord to evict you... On the 5th she can give you a 7Day note which will tell you that you have seven days to pay in full or she will start court proceedings, and those last usually two weeks after that.  It is impossible for a lnadlord to evict a tenant within two days.  I've had to evict people before for not paying rent at all, and with no intentions of paying it and it took til the 26th of that month before the authorities will come to evict.  This I can guarantee, because I've done evictions in FL, IL, AZ, NM, and TX... Impossible to go through the court for a proper eviction in less than two weeks, and the court will always give you a chance to pay it and stay

You may wish to check with an attorney but for the most part the standard practice is this;\n\nSend her a registered letter. Inform her that if the property is not picked up in 30 days it is considered abandoned and under the law it will be disposed of. The property actually becomes yours to sell or toss out.\n\nAfter 30 days she s**t out of luck. Just be sure to send any correspondence registered receipt.\n\nYou do have to retain her stuff but after 30 days and the letter...ha!...no self respecting cop would pinch you.

The general rule is 30 days for normal notice in a month to month tenancy or at the end of a lease.  However, as your tenant seems to be in violation of her lease, most states provide for notice of 3 - 7 days for an eviction for cause.  \n\nDepending on the state, and the speed with which the courts act, eviction may take anywhere from 30 - 90 days.  Of course you could get lucky and she'll move out within the initial notice period.  \n\nWhatever you do, do NOT attempt a self-help eviction or lock out the tenant.  You'll leave yourself open to civil liability and possibly criminal charges in some jursidictions.\n\nConsult an attorney in your area for advice specific to your jurisdiction and situation.

Hi, Sandee,\n\nAs I read the answers, I kept wondering how all these people know what State you live in, if US, and how they can be sure their advise applies.\n\nYour family lives in which state?\n\nAlso, when you say lease that is usually different than a month to month and result in different answers.\n\nIn California, there is a standard notice called a 3 day pay or quit.  The expectation is not that you will move, but simply pay the rent or in your case the water bill.\n\nIn your case, it seems that you may not gone to leasing or rental office and simply asked them what they plan to do.    \n\nThat is the place to start.  Ask them what this is all about.\n\nIf it is in your lease that you will be paying water bills, they will point that out to you.  If that is the case, they will show you that you signature is on the page showing that you agreed to pay.\n\nI don't know in what states there is a "Housing Authority".  But they would tell you to talk with the agent or landlord first.  Then if needed you file a complaint.\n\nThe so called 3 day notice is the first step in the eviction process but it is not an eviction in and of itself.\n\nIn California, an eviction does take place before a judge.  You have the opportunity, with or without an attorney to be present.  \n\nI have always been there on the behalf of the landlord.  Sorry about that!!  The judges are always fair and willing to hear what you have to say.\n\nThe only persons who got really bad deals were drug-dealers, that isn't you, and people who didn't show up in court.\n\nBelieve me, if you are paying the rent as agreed and the landlord or the agent do not have it in writing that you agreed to pay the water bill, you will win in California just by showing up and telling that to the judge!\n\nGood Luck for you and your family!

This is a really complex subject for these short forums.\n\n\nThe clock doesn't start until you get a Notice of Default. Regardless of when you made your last payment that starts it. \n\nThere are several details that the lender (actually the trustee) needs to perform. Normally that won't affect you.\nFrom the Notice, you usually have 120 calendar days until the Trustee's Sale. (Sheriffs sale is for something else, similar)\n\nIf the house is still occupied at that point, the new owner can immediately get an eviction. \n\nThe lender has certain rights -- sometimes they can change the locks. Many of those are spelled out in your finance document. \n\nIn California, borrowers have more rights that most other states, including a right to redeem the house after the Trustee's sale. \n\nSometimes the lender can 'forbear' or wait a while, but they do not lose any of their rights and most important, their fees and late charges and trustee charges NEVER stop.\n\nSomething  bad must have happened otherwise you would'nt be in this bind. I am sorry. You can get out of it, even though it will be hard. Please email me. I know someone who may be able to help you, but time is short. You need to change your goal from 'Staying in the house' to 'Getting out with the most money in your pocket.'\n\nBest to you, \nLeigh\nhttp://www.LeighMaynard.com\nReal estate guy since 1986

Unless there is an emergency, like you went off for the weekend and left your pets in the house to bark and disturb the neighbors, or you left the water on and it is overflowing and he recieved a complaint from the downstairs neighbors, he can not legally enter the premises without giving you a 24 hour notice. The notice has to be legit too, it's not like he does this weekly just to see if you painted the walls black. For example, I enter my properties to conduct appraisals, estimate repairs (that they requested) or things of that nature. I cannot harass my tennants just to see the condition of the property. As a tennant you have a right to enjoy quiet use of the property. It seems like he is breaching the lease, you might want to send him a certified letter stating that his actions are not acceptable and that he has to give you 24 hour confirmed written notice anytime he needs to enter the property along with the reason for entering the property unless there is an actual emergency (such as fire) that he needs to immediately enter the premise to protect his property. Inform him that if he continues to breach this lease and break the law, you will be forced to find residence elsewhere.\n\nIf he continues this illegal behavior, your best bet is to leave and find another place to live, immediately send him a certified letter stating that you have left and abandoned the property for a breach in contract, request for the return of your deposit and sue him in small claims for any damages (such as moving cost) because he breached the lease contract.\n\nOne last thing, if he shows up and asks to come in and you say "Yes", there is nothing you can do about that and I bet he doesn't see this as a problem. If you are bothered by this, then you must tell him "No" or go outside to talk to him.\n\nI personaly believe no news from my tennants is good news. I'm sure it's the same for them too. I bet one gets scared when the other calls. ;)\n\nRegards...
