Most of the time its on there for 7 years. Its going to be a big problem with getting a loan, your best bet is to contact the company and make payment arrangements, before applying.

My understanding is your options are:\n\na) Sue the tenant, get a judgment, record an abstract of the judgment, which becomes public record and may eventually be picked up by credit bureaus.\n\nb) Hire a collection agency to collect the amount owed. They will report it to the credit bureaus and make an attempt to collect the amount on a contingency basis (they will take 33-50% of any monies collected).\n\nYou can also have the collection agency attempt to collect on your judgment if you go route "a".

In response to your question about eviction, unfortunately you will have to go the courts and file an eviction proceeding, the person who advised to just type your own eviction notice and give it to your relative is wrong, I am a Law Enforement Officer, and if I were to respond to their house and you produced a typed eviction notice that was not issued from the courts, then I could do nothing at all.  An eviction is a civil matter, and for Law Enforcement to act on an eviction there has to be an order to evict from a Judge, like I said unfortunately there is no other legal method to evict the deadbeat relative.

If they had to take it to a judge and get the eviction, you have about five minutes. And no, I'm not kidding. Relatives of mine had to kick someone out who refused to leave. They got a judge to sign the eviction. My relatives then went over to the house with the sheriff. Sheriff went to the door, talked to the people and told them they had five minutes to get their things and get out or be arrested. After sitting in the property rent free for 90 days, the court figured they had all the time in the world to prepare to move. My relatives wound up having a house full of furniture and dishes.

It takes 30 days legally for an eviction but it is best to check the laws in your state as some states may vary in their eviction laws.

Iaminteresting is a little off.  In New York, judgements are 20 years, and they can be renewed.  They will not go away.\n\nThey have a fixed 9% interest rate on judgements, so you need to get this fixed before the interest fees kill you!

I am NOT an attorney.  Midnight the last day the rent was paid to, unless other arrangements are made with management.  Evicted?  You may have no time. True in most states anyway.

Assuming your evicting the non-paying tenants through the court system! When you have finished the eviction process, there is a default judgement recorded in your county. The credit reporting agencies obtain this information, at least once a week, and thus it appears on their credit report, as an unlawful detainer action. If you ever see this on a prospective tenants report....don't even consider renting to this person, as he did not value himself enough, and took the risk of subjecting his credit report so negatively....It also shows that this person coct the landlord allot of hassels, and costs of legally evicting this person through the court system....and to make matters worse they probably damaged and left your property a mess on their way out.

Absolutely.  Case in point:  I evicted someone recently and, heartless as it may seem to be, it was raining on the day of the eviction, and I had the full force of the law on my side.  Please understand that I had given the defendant over 90 days, had taken him to court to prove my right to take possession of my property, and I followed due process right up to the last minute.\n\nTo be sure, there are "renters" rights that you'd be wise to read.  You can find all you need to know right on the internet.

You may contact the court and ask for the court to set a debtor hearing to find out what his assets are.  If he failed to appear the judge could issue civil contempt charges against the defendant.\n\nNormally, judgments will affect his credit and hopefully that will make him eventually pay you.

No, but you have to appear in court, or it will become an automatic default. If you do not show up for court, the Marshall will serve you, and you will have roughly 60-90 days to be evicted. You can and will be locked out of your own residence, and the house will go into foreclosure.\n\nDuring your court appearance (assuming you go), make sure that you speak on your own behalf, or hire an attorney if you can afford it. Also, if you can financially afford it, request time to catch up on the payments. The judge may take into consideration whether or not a family/children living in the residence with you.

contact your local sheriff,and ask about starting the eviction process. Depending on what state you live in it may be impossible to have them removed until spring

New Jersey has very specific laws.  \n\nIf you are even one day late with the rent, the landlord can file for eviction based upon non-payment.  A grace period is the period before you are charged a late fee and has nothing to do with the day your rent is due.  If you rent is due on the 1st and they don't have it by midnite, they can file the summons & complaint at 9:00 am on the 2nd.  There is no "30 days" or whatever in New Jersey.  Filing for non-payment requires no prior notice unless your landlord put it in your lease that they would give you notice.\n\nIf you don't have a lease, your landlord cannot charge you late fees or legal fees. \n\nIf you live in a rent controlled unit, most towns have limits on the late fee that can be charged.  Other than that, the late fee is subject to a reasonableness test that varies from county to county.  Usually it runs around 10%.\n\nIf you do have a lease that lists late fees and attorney fees as "additional rent" you will have the fees taken out of your deposit if you don't pay.\n\nBut the really good news is that in New Jersey, landlords are limited to "reasonable" actual attorney fees ... and $500 is laughable since you didn't even make it to the court appearance stage.  \n\nThe filing fee on a non-payment case in New Jersey is anywhere from $27 to $32, depending on what county you are in.  To do the actual paperwork involved in filing a non-payment complaint, the going rate for an attorney in New Jersey is anywhere from  $75 to $200.  The complaint would have been statutorily dismissed when you paid the rent, so there would be no court appearance fee.\n\nLook at the summons & complaint you received.  It should have the name of the attorney or firm that prepared and filed it.  If you didn't get a summons & complaint then your landlord is lying about having filed because there is no way to stop the process once it is started.  If he tries to tell you that he or they called the court and "told them not to serve you because you paid" then he is lying.  You would have been served anyway, and the notice of dismissal would have been sent to the court separately.\n\nIf you were served a summons & complaint but it wasn't prepared by AND signed by an attorney, then your landlord is lying.  Make sure an attorney signed it, and that your landlord just didn't do it himself and insert the name of a lawyer or firm.\n\nYour landlord had every right to file (assuming he actually did), but he can't pull numbers out of his butt.  If he filed himself, the most he can charge you is the actual filing fee of $27 to $32.  He can't charge for his time, gas, etc.  It's strictly actual cost.\n\nIf he tries to take an imaginary fee of $500 out of your deposit, you can sue him in small claims under the consumer fraud statute.  That means he will have to pay you $1,000 (double what he owes you) for trying to cheat you.\n\nHow many units are in your building?  Is it owner occupied?  Were you notified of the location of your deposit in writing within 30 days of giving it to him?  I'm asking because there may be a way to protect yourself from him trying to deduct anything from your deposit depending on your answer.  Post the answer to those questions as additional info, and I will update my answer to tell you if you can do this or not.

State?\n\nI am sure that would vary from state to state.\n\nBut most generally Eviction is a process through a court therefor there would be no such thing as a verbal notice.\n\nYou don't have to get out until a court says so, I have defied verbal evictions and made them go to court twice!\n\nThis was in Indiana.

Eviction laws vary from county to county, and state to state. Most of the time, you can be served with a 30 day notice to vacate property, and if you do not move, the landlord can file an unlawful detainer against you. In some places, the landlord is required to serve you with 60 day notice if you have resided at the property for more than 12 months. In any case it really doesn't matter what you have done to improve the property, or how much rent you have or have not paid. The landlord has a right to reclaim his property if he chooses. Please always have the terms of residence in writing. It is unfortunate that a relative, has chosen to go in a direction that does not accomodate your needs. Maybe he wants to sell the land, but any way you look at it, you need to make other arrangments. Sorry.\nMake sure you check with an attorney, or legal aide in your area.

If you are only paying for the location on rent. The land lord can evict you. He can go to court and get an eviction, you get served. 30days is the usual time. He can have a constable come and force you to move or move your trailer off and store it and charge a fee for storage, so pay up or get out.

First of all, assuming the mismanagement is an ongoing issue the statute of limitations would likely not be seen as having begun to run.  However, if this is a past issue then it might start from the date of the last action of mismanagement or it might start from the date of the realization of the mismanagement, which could be recent.  Regardless, this issue will be likely litigated in court if at all applicable.\n\nHowever, only a lawyer licensed in Illinois can advise you how the Statute of Limitations might apply in Illinois.
