What can someone do if they feel they're being wrongfully evicted?

The landlord may want her out, but their ability to get her out depends on a lot of things, like her lease and the law in her area.\n\nIf her lease isn't up, they probably can't evict her until it is up ... but her state may allow people who are chronically late to be evicted, but it involves certain notices and is only for being late in the future and does not apply to past late payments. \n\nThe fact that she has a good excuse for being late really doesn't matter.  Her problems are not her landlords problems.  The fact that she was a good tenant before this (and presumably still will be) should have counted for something with her landlord, but as far as legally ... a landlord is under no obligation to wait for their money.\n\nIn any case, they can't just order her out.  They have to go through the courts to evict her, and frankly it doesn't sound like they currently have any cause for eviction.  \n\nIf your friend is a month to month tenant and there aren't any laws preventing the termination of a month to month tenant except for cause (such as non-payment of rent), the landlord may be able to terminate her tenancy and take her to court as a holdover tenant if she doesn't leave.  Some places have these laws, others don't.  You really need to find out what the law is in your area.

Go home one day a month.  The burden of proof is on them in an eviction proceeding.  They are probably blowing a lot of hot air.

You might have to evict them.\n\nEviction is a legal process by which a landlord forces a tenant or other occupant to move out of the landlord's property involuntarily and usually permanently. Legal terms for eviction include summary possession and unlawful detainer.\nIn most areas, landlords can evict tenants at the end of a lease term without cause. In other areas, there are just cause eviction controls or "just cause" laws, which require that a landlord give a reason for eviction. The most common reasons such as nonpayment of rent or damaging the property are typically considered cause for eviction.\nThe requirement of notice also varies; in some areas, landlords must post an official eviction notice on the property a certain number of days before the tenant can be forced off the property. In some areas the landlord must get the police to post this notice.\nSome jurisdictions require the landlord to obtain a court order before a tenant can be evicted. This usually involves filing a lawsuit in the local eviction court, which is then heard by a judge, magistrate, or referee. If the landlord is found to have a just cause for eviction, the tenant is given a specified number of days in which to move. If he fails to do so, some jurisdictions allow the landlord to take possession immediately, while others require a peace officer (sheriff, bailiff, police officer) to be present for the set-out.\nEviction law varies widely from state to state, and sometimes county to county or city to city. Any landlord faced with a tenant they must evict, or a tenant faced with a threat of eviction, should seek legal counsel to determine the practice in their community and their respective rights and obligations.

technically, landlords have the right to come in to your home/room whenever they please.  I am not sure what you can do.

Get your key back or change the locks. It's quite easy to do.\n\nThey are taking advantage of you. Tell them that they need to use their own apartment to cook and clean in and a laundromat to clean their clothes.   \n\nThey also need to chip in for running up your electric bill. now is not the time to be meek

Dial 911, then tell them that you need help finding your home.  Special counsel should arrive shortly to send you back to where you LEGALLY live.

If the people that you hate are doing something illegal, yes, you can call the cops. However, if it's nothing illegal and these people just really bother you, then you have either of two options: 1) talk to your roommate and work things out peacefully, and this is preferable, but  if that is not possible, then 2) sign a form that says you plan not to renew your lease, and find a different place to stay. Remember that you will still be obligated to your current lease, so you have to think about whether or not it will be worth the money and hassle it takes to break the lease early, if you want to do that instead.

Congratulations on getting yourself back on your feet.  \n\nRental applications ask for contact info for previous landlords, so they can check on your rental history.  They also will probably ask if you have been evicted.  Be truthful on your application and explain that you have paid the back rent that was owed.  \n\nYou may need an understanding landlord and/or a co-signer, but you should be able to rent somewhere once you have cleared things up.\n\nYou might have a claim against the estate of your former roommate, hassle and bad taste of going after it is probably not worth the money.

Your SS is yours, did you charge them rent when they were living with you?  If they are really doing that you need to find a place to go, then sit down and tell them that you are done, you deserve better.  If they make a fuss try a lawyer.

Pay rent.  If everyone's name is on the lease, it is all your responsibilities to pay it. \n\nOnce you figure out if he is really coming back or not, you can sue him in small claims court to get your money back, but that requires a lawyer.  Or your landlord can hold his possessions until they get the rent settled.\n\nWhen I went through this with a roommate, I found it effective to call her parents.  Even though she was 21 years old, her father helped us even out the rent bill and then came down on her to talk to us, tell us her plans, and even came to move her crap out.\n\nBecause you are jointly responsible for the rent, you have to pay all shares.  Read your lease.

Even if your landlord starts the eviction process, it can take several months before they actually kick you out.  Speak to the landlord and tell him you can't pay this month, but next month you will pay the usual rent amount in addition, add a little extra to help pay the month you missed.  At least that way he will get some money.

Hire an eviction service.  It can be tricky to boost someone, even if it is just a friend of your roommates who will not leave after visiting for three weeks.

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.

no they can sue over that last i checked. You have to pursue them first in court and if the courts find that you can evict them then you can just throw it away. Otherwise they could turn around and just say we went away on vacation and didnt pay you rent this month. Get what i mean ! \nhope this helps.\nI know you stated you evicted them in the question, but some landlords consider them leaving or you just throwing them out eviction. So i just wanted to state if you didnt do it by court's then you would have to file that way. \nagain hope this helps
