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.

Ignore those first two comments.  Those people don't know what they're talking about.  I don't know what the laws are in your state but I have a general idea.  I am a California lawyer who practices landlord/tenant law.  While the laws in your state will be somewhat different, the general thrust of the laws will more than likely be the same.\n\nFirst of all, DO NOT change the locks.  Self-help is more than likely not allowed in your state.  I can't imagine a single state that would allow that remedy.  If you go that route, you're looking at getting your butt sued.\n\nSecond, don't bother with the county prosecutor.  The prosecutor or District Attorney only cares about criminal acts.  Yours is a civil dispute.\n\nCheck out the website for your local county court.  Many counties have self-help sections for landlords.  Or, go to the county court clerk's office and see if they offer any free legal clinics or any self-help resources for landlords.  Third, go to your local bookstore.  I guarantee that they will have a number of books on how a landlord can evict people in your area.\n\nChances are that the very first thing you need to do is post a notice on your tenant's door to pay rent or quit.  In California, it is a 3 day notice.  \n\nIf you've never done this before, it may be worthwhile to talk to a laywer in your area who specializes in landlord/tenant disputes.  Go to www.martindale.com for a listing of landlord/tenant attorneys in your area.  If you move quickly, you can get your tenant evicted in 30 days or less.  \n\nGood luck.

Give your tenant written notice that the tenancy has ended, ie "You are hereby notified that your lease/tenancy has ended. Please vacate the property."\n\nOffer your tenant the full return of any security deposit or some other amount of money; it will be less than hiring an attorney to evict your tenant. Then, let your tenant know that if he leaves the property without going through an eviction, he will not have an eviction on his credit report. It is much harder for someone to get an apartment if an eviction is reported on their credit, so let your tenant know that.

First of all, the laws on the eviction process and landlord/tenant laws vary by state.  Second, the law can even be different if this is a commercial property vs. a residental property.  Third, it is unclear what you mean by "eviction letter".  Is it a notice to pay rent or quit due to past due rent?  Or perhaps just a notice for you to move out because they want to get another tenant?\n\nIf the notice was truly sent in 2004, the law of your state MIGHT deem the notice to have expired.  Or the notice might be invalid if the landlord accepted rent from you after the date of the notice.  Or maybe the landlord pulled up and old form from another matter, forgot to change the date and served it recently.\n\nRegardless of what the facts are, you need to see a local who is well versed in the landlord/tenant laws of your state.

Write a letter to explain the situation that led to your eviction.  Also give the landlord a clear picture of your situation including assets, earnings, time at job, references etc.  Also see if you can find someone to co-sign for you.

Iowa law requires that notice be given 30 days in advance or as long as the period between rental payments is:\n\n"A person in the possession of real estate, with the assent of the owner, is presumed to be a tenant at will until the contrary is shown, and thirty days' notice in writing must be served upon either party or a successor of the party before termination of the tenancy. However, if a rent is reserved payable at intervals of less than thirty days, the length of notice need not be greater than the interval."\n\nThe landlord could also evict you, but that involves a notice of nonpayment, an order delivered by the Sherriff that eviction proceedings are being held, and a court date

You are going to have to contact a lawyer who will put a motion forward to your local court to have the eviction stayed untill they hear your case. \n\nDo it as soon as possible and get ready to provide information as to why you should not be evicted. What did your landlord do or not do etc.

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.

First, I sure get tired of folks responding to questions as if they were text messaging you; I wonder if they can properly spell anything. Second, each state has slightly different laws regarding personal property and tenancy. I also have a feeling you left a few details out; the owner of the property where your "house" or trailer was/is sitting on, is a rented space to you (Lessee) owned by the Lessor.  You must have recieved multiple notices regarding the issue of your back lot rent, and THEN it went to Small Claims Court.  The Judge in Small Claims must have had your "paid up" receipts of record, (if you bothered to show up)or not-if not, the Lessor (owner of the property) would have won the small claims case, then she/he (Lesor)would have had an additional request, through another court, at another date later, to request seizure of your property to pay the back owed bills.***** They can only do this if they have proved you had received Notices of these actions.**** The only way they could have had the utilities turned off is if they ended up owning YOUR property in this very legal way.

What state do you live in?  Make sure you're using the proper notice.  Without the proper notice, your case will be thrown out of court immediately if you have to file a forcible entry and detainer action (eviction).  Check your local government as well as your state.  In some states and local governments, you must use five day notices.  Try American Legal Forms at www.americanlegalforms.com or http://realestate.findlaw.com/landlord.\n\nGood luck!\n\nPS: You are the landlord trying to collect rent, correct?

If you don't pay the rent within the time period then the landlord has the right file a lawsuit for eviction.  If you have what you think is a valid reason for not paying rent then send the landlord a certified letter giving your reason.  Then prepare to tell a judge when the landlord files the lawsuit for eviction.

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.
