drf2684 | When you evict a tenant for failing to pay, can you sue to get rent payments? |
I may have to begin eviction proceedings because of late rent. Can I sue for the remainder of the lease agreement? They are two months in, however this is a college rental and it would be impossible to find new tenants if I evict them. |

If you evict them, you can not sue them for the balance of the lease. You can only sue for unpaid rent while they lived there and damages beyond the deposit.
Of course the eviction process could take longer than those 2 months left. |

your eviction is terminating the lease at the point of the court hearing
so no |

Sue them now but count on collecting later. You can garish their wages after the suit if you have to. |

Yes you can sue them for it. But remember the old adage that you can't get blood out of a turnip. A lawsuit can give you a judgement saying that they owe you the money, but that doesn't get the money. |

In my state (Wisconsin) you can sue them for damages less the deposit you kept. Damages include physical damage, back rent, rent lost, eviction costs but not attorney fees, court costs for the eviction, judgment, and garnishment (when you have the judgment). Court costs would include the cost of service, and publishing if their new address is unknown. If you gave them the notice to move for nonpayment in x number of days, you can charge them double rent for the number of days they stayed over beyond day x.. . |

You can sue for the rent to the day they moved out |

You have to go to civil court. Be sure to get your paperwork in order. You will not get the entire remaining lease but if you look for a new tenant and one moves in even several months later, you should be able to recover all the uncompensated rent for the intervening period. |

yes, they signed a contract if they break the contract or get evicted you can sue them for the money you are losing out on. Talk to a lawyer |
|

Yes, your rental or lease contract is a binding one. Check out the local courthouse for pamphlet info, contact your local landlord association or call a local housing attorney. You must actively try to rent/lease the property and be able to prove this in order to charge these tenants for the months they are not in the apt. and are only responsible for the months they were there and the months the property stays empty after they leave and again you MUST actively attempt to re-rent/lease. Notice/demand to pay, evict, suit, judgment, garnishment. |
