It completely depends on where you live. Every state in the US has different waiting periods. You might need to go so long without payment before you can proceed with an eviction notice. Your best bet is to get in touch with a real estate lawyer and inquire if they cover rental evictions. If so, see what the procedure is and follow it to a T. More likely than not you will have to go to court before you can serve them with an eviction but hopefully you have some type of a lease or document they signed stating they agree how much and when to pay. Otherwise it will be he said/ she said in court. Be careful though, just because you file eviction papers, they can get a restraining order against you and remain on the premises for an undetermined amount of time without having to pay rent or allow you into their apartment. As you can see, it is a tricky business, consult a lawyer, if they are found to be wrong in the situation, you can charge them for the lawyer and eviction fees on top of the past due rent. Good Luck |

File the paperwork you need to evict him. Becareful that the locality that the property is in will not file a lein against your property for the outstanding utility bills, that's what our boro does. Pay them if necessary but keep all receipts. When he is evicted take the necessary action through your local magistrate to recoup all lost amounts. I am going through this same situation right now. Recod keeping is a must!! |

Just give them a notice and deadline because you don't know there situation, but if it continues to progress them file an eviction notice. |

The process is called eviction.
Call your local police and they'll have further
information. You might need to get a lawyer
involved if they try to fight it.
Warning: Tenants have a lot of rights. It can
be very difficult to evict people even for non-payment
of rent. |

Most states have laws that protect the rights of renters, so if you are contemplating changing the locks or confiscating property, that's probably a very bad idea that will get you sued. You need to protect yourself and ensure that you follow the process prescribed by the law in your state and/or county. To this end, you really do need to consult an attorney before you take any action against the deadbeats. |

In most states renters rights have become a burden to rental owners. Most states have a renters rights association which help owners also. They had info on how we went about getting them out of the apartment. We had to file a motion with the court and have the police come and make them move. It took a while and was a pain. Most of the time we just had to threaten to file a motion against them and they would move out. I never let the renter go 3 months. If there rent was 1 month late I started letting them know that they had to pay me in full, move out, or I would start a motion with the court and the police. Make sure you do everything in writing. They usually moved out right away. |

evict them. they signed a contract, if they don't live up to the terms of the contract you have a right to evict them. |

Laws differ from state to state. Some places make eviction relatively easy. Others make it virtually impossible. First, if you can do it legally, that's your best bet. If you live in a state that doesn't allow that, you can make it miserable for them so that they'll want to leave. I know my mom used to call the electric company and let them know that the people were deadbeats and that they probably would never pay the electric bill. Usually that would speed up the process of getting their power turned off, and most people won't stay around after the power is cut. |

Evict them. I think there are legal steps you have to go through first. Through the courts and they have to have something like a months notice. |

the landlord needs to go to the rentalsman or court to get an order to take possession of the house or suite. When he or she has done that they can evict the tenant. Not paying rent or paying bills is not responsible. |

In Missouri we send them a registered letter after they are late...then we pay the sheriff to bring them an eviction notice,, then we get a lawyer to take it to court ...then the judge makes them get out by a certain time of the sheriff puts their stuff on the curb...Downside is this may take 6 months...so the landlord is out 7 months of rent...It isn't fair. The landlord has to keep paying the notes on the house and taxes and insurance and has to maintain the property while they are in it no matter what they break.
THE LAW HAS TO BE CHANGED..THE LAW SHOULD PUT THEM OUT 10 DAYS AFTER THEY FAIL TO PAY RENT. |

Landlords like you make me upset. You needed to have started the eviction 5 days or so after the rent was late.
Thats why landlords get walked all over, because you try to be too nice |

After 3 months of non payments, havent their utilities been turned off by now? THEY are responsible for their own utilities, right? So what, are they living in the house with no electric or water for months now?
Start eviction proceedings, 3 months is long overdue. I wouldve done it after the 1st month, if they had given me a hard time about paying their rent. |

Evictions take at least three months.
Try this:
Tell him his front door needs repair.
Remove his front door.
Leave, taking front door with you.
Don't answer your phone for a few days.
He'll be gone soon. |
