File an eviction.

Or kill them.

You need to speak to a solicitor and get a possession order to get the tenants out. Do it ASAP though, as its not a fast process, it won't be done in 2 weeks unfortunately.


CLIVE H
Sounds to me like these tenants may have tenants rights. Not sure exactly what they are. You need the advice of a good lawyer, one who deals with the matter in hand. If you cannot get them out, you may be able to force the rent up.

When you bought the house, did the solicitor state that it came with sitting tenants? Its a really important point. Either way, you need a solicitor to get involved if they are refusing to move out, I doubt the police would get involved as it would probably be deemed a civil matter. However, if you serve them with an eviction notice, the police will attend.

Although I know about contract law, I'm not as expert as a solicitor, but to my understanding if you allowed them to stay then both parties are agreeing to go by the previous contract drawn up. You need to get a copy of this, the solicitor should be able to advise you on this and help you to get it if I'm right.

So you should first of all contact the police, secondly contact a solicitor or citizens advice (who will often write letters for you and charge minimal for it).

Good luck

Everyone has given you good advice. Will you please let me know when the forcible eviction will take place so I can pull up a lawn chair and watch?

i would go and see a solicitor, the first half hour should be free and ask for some advice, as you didn't have any written agreement with them like the previous owner, i think you can serve them with eviction papers, a solicitor should be able to tell you better or your local c.a.b

(but only after the citizens advice gives you no good advice.)

I think you need to contact a solicitor and find out your rights. You need to do this quick as time's running out & with a baby, you don't want to be messing around. I don't know how the current law stands, but if you have no written agreement & it's your house, I think you can ask them to leave anytime. Good luck, I hope you sort this out.

Basically if there is no agreement, they are on a month to month lease. The first thing you need to do is give them written notice to vacate. Since you have verbally asked them to leave already, two weeks written notice should be sufficient.

Presumably you have a key to the house. There is one of two things that you can do after that. I would suggest asking a police officer to accompany you to the property and either have them removed or arrested for trespassing. The next step of course would be to get the locks changed immediately.

The other thing you could do is to have go to the property when you know that they are gone and have the locks changed. You can then have their belongs packed and arrange with the tenants to pick them up. Ensure none of their property is damaged in the process.

In either case, it sounds as if the tenants will be a problem. Make sure to document everything that you do, just in case it has to go to small claims court.

Wow. You need to evict them. It will take longer then 2 weeks.

Since you only have this one and evictions are complicated, and can get lengthy if the renters are seriously into being scum, I recommend that you go ahead and hire an eviction service. It costs about 600, but it will save you in the long run.

How long it takes will depend on what you have done already, what state you are in and how cooperative the renters are.

Good luck to you! I am really sad to hear about this and really hope you get them out of your house ASAP.

Did your solicitor not advise you about this when you bought the house!? As existing tenants, they have rights and you will have to go through the courts to get possession back. firstly issue them with a notice of seeking possession. You need to give 2 months notice of this. In the mean time find a solicitor to get them evicted. If your previous solicitor failed to advise you of the implications of existing tenants, they may be liable for any financial loss you experience. Get advice basically and never buy a property with existing tenants in the future.


tomas n
did you buy this house with existing tenancy. if yes, you have to honour it and you should get a copy from the ex owners. if not get the police and kick their *** out

You need to get an attorney and start eviction proceedings.

Speak to a solicitor asap.


sekil2001
if there is no lease they are month to month give them 1 months notice by certified mail, they will have 1 month to leave, if they dont leave call the marshals they will be forced out

Try and keep things civil. The last thing you want is to threaten them with legal action (though you DO NEED to take some) and have them purposely damage your property.

Try and sit down with them and explain the situation. The law's on your side, and it sounds like you gave them plenty of time and notice. Be firm but fair.

Talk to an attorney. With no written agreement I do not know what your legal rights are. I do know that you since you have bought the house, their should be some thing in your papers, about it. if not then you may have to go to court. Your best bet is to start with the real estate person who sold you the house and ask their advice, if they can't offer you any then please visit an attorney. I know you can also possibly go through the police, with an eviction notice but, you need to make sure you tie up all the ends in it, and those can be fought sometimes.

You should have given them more notice than 2 weeks AND got some sort of written agreement. You will have to take them to court now.


Dr. O'Pinion
Five months ago you should have given them a short term lease so you would have legal documentation to present in order to have them evicted. There are other remedies at this point in time. However, not knowing your State, County, City etc. it would be inadvisable to give you information that may not be pertinent in your case. You will definitely have to seek out the advice of a real estate attorney. As owner of the premises you may be able to have certain utilities cut off to encourage the tenants to leave. Make sure you have adequate insurance coverage because most likely the tenents will start damaging your house in retaliation at which point you will have to file vandalism charges and the insurance company will cover you under the vandalism clause. Again seek out the advice of an attorney! It could still take a few months to get them out legally! I've been through the tenant nightmare and never again will I rent out a house. People just don't really appreciate it.

you need to go down your local cab and find out all your rights. if they signed a contract with you you probably need to give them notice to move out first but if you have done that and they still are refusing then you need to take legal action against them.

You do not say where the house is located and tenancy laws vary greatly from place to place. I can tell you this, there are very few jurisdictions where you are going to get occupancy of the house in 2 weeks. You need to find another place to live for now. Aside from that, you need to get good legal advice in your jurisdiction. No one here can give you a complete answer without knowing the entire situation.

Good luck to you.

you shouldnt have let them stay without signing a tenancy agreement. unfortunately you cant just evict them- you are going to have to take them to court to get them removed legally and this can take 6 weeks or more. go see a solicitor who specialises in Landlord and Tenants issues to find out your options.

you have to give them notice. After the notice has passed, if they dont bugger off you phone the police. That or get a hitman or a pack of badgers. Anyway a kid with no certain place of abode? what kind of irresponsible mother are you? i tut in your direction.
