I am facing a roommate in the home that I own that has suddenly become hostile to point of requiring a restraining order for my own safety. She is not a girlfriend, always been a business agreement, which is in writing for living here. Lived for over six years, but something mapeniacal happened, I figure it’s drugs. I gave the standard 30 day notice, on our month to month agreement 22 days ago. But that has little weight for evictions. I lost 4 biz days due to Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Just served the three and 7 day notice today. Police have arrived to my house over five times between various calls from the neighbors, myself and even her as some kind of threat for no reason. I have copies of the reports. Tonight it got really bad with her assaulting me and breaking my things. But the police can’t do anything because she lives here. So now I must file the restraining order. Same time, how do I get her served for the eviction, as she had worked from home and has no real other place to go. If she can’t be here, I figure she can’t be served by the sheriff. My life is in danger, which now comes first. How can I complete the eviction process? Maybe a plea to the judge?
I'm having a hard time right now financially and my landlord is threatening eviction hopefully I can get help from a agency because we have nowhere to go!!!
I live in Palm Beach county Florida and My landlord converted a one-bedroom apartment into two rental studio units. I live in unit A and my neighbor lives in unit B next to me. My neighbor has a bad wiring outlet that turns off frequently when use which ends up turning off my bathroom lights. Unfortunately the circuit breaker box is in my unit A. Landlord threatened to evict both of us if we don't work together by giving the tenants of unit B access to the circuit breaker at my apartment when I'm not home or on vacation. Is this legal? And yes we both pay our rent in full and on time for the past four years and currently. But landlord still threatens to evict us if we don't get the circuit breaker problem resolved.
The faulty circuit breaker could be safety / fire issue, which is on the landlord to address according to Florida law. However, in order for him to address it, he will need both of you to cooperate with any contractors that may need to enter your respective spaces. I understand that his version of fixing the issue is to allow one tenant to enter the other tenant's (i.e. your) unit, but that is not a fix. It's not even a bandaid. If your landlord cannot be reasoned with further, you might need to get a lawyer.
I unfortunately am facing an eviction! I've been here since April 2022 up to now I've paid on time every month. My roommate who signed the lease with me up and moved out therefore I cannot pay the rent for January. I'm freaked out and never thought I'd be here. I'm terrified! IDK what to expect! I'm in Kissimmee Florida
Unfortunately if the lease was signed as both of you renting the apartment, you will be held liable for rent. You can't stop the eviction but you could sue your roommate for the non-payment of rent and breaching the lease 🤷
I have a property manager who is in breach of the original lease and renewal by not providing a renewal or notice within 45 days of lease expiration. Furthermore, there’s been no notice and a failure to account for deposits made over 2 years ago. Most unfortunate, the property manager has been requesting a zero balance before sending a new lease. The same property manager voided a lease before the 10 days he set in his email for me to review. Outrageous
@@tyrelcarter6587 We are not attorneys and can't provide legal advise, but it sounds like you can't technically evict them since they're not on the lease and not paying tenants. You may have a case regarding "squatters" and squatters rights, but I think you may also have a case for just calling the police and let them know they're trespassing. Let us know what happens!
If they overstay their welcome as guest you are entitled to give them a written notice to leave in a couple of days. You could also try to call the police and have them escorted out since they are not tenants paying rent and refuse to leave. Or you could have them sign a contract with you to start paying a certain amount of rent monthly. And if they failed to pay the rent you will need to go through the eviction process for non payment.
Is there case law or a statute that helps determine if there is even a tenancy? I allowed a grass-cutting guy to keep two lawnmowers in my garage in exchange for cutting my small lawn. In the course of two months, he turned my backyard into a salvage yard and will not remove his junk. Two weeks ago, I got two pieces of mail at my house addressed to him.
I responded to the eviction notice, but I haven't been able to deposit any money into the court registry because I don't have the full amount. I got the motion of final judgment 😢
It can take several weeks on the quick end. In the meantime, you will continue to rack up rent due, late fees, attorney's fees, court costs, and, depending on the condition of how you end up leaving the premises, additional money damages too. Sitting there and try to game the system by thinking that the procedural delays will buy you rent free room and board is not accurate. Moreover, it's dishonest. Rather, talk to your landlord about any money problems you are having _before_ the rent is due. Working with you is cheaper than evicting you. It's also, dare I say, the adult, honorable, and responsible thing to do.
My landloard broke my power supply for my rv 2 time with the last time. Letting lose my job. Know this month show up i 😊can pay hes been trying to force entry to my rv. Wirh no luc he decided it was time to damege my rv. What can i do making fake letter to evicme. He told me later that i did the contract that it was fake his not allow to rent his backyard
I appreciate the informative video but I had a hard time trying to get a clear pronunciation of your words because you are talking too fast, also the background music interferes with me trying to concentrate.
What state do you want to see next?
There needs to be a revision to eviction laws cause 7 damn years on a report is too long

Oh no! Wishing you good luck as you go through this. We have faith that everything will turn out well in the end!

Thank you for sharing.
I am renting and some friends of friends have out stayed there welcome. Am I considered the landlord since I am on the lease and they are not?
No, the landlord is the person who owns the property. Unfortunately, if you want them out you'll just have to tell them.
@@DoorLoop can I send them a 15 day notice and evict them still?

How long usually does it take from the first month of rent not paid till you're evicted?
It can take several weeks on the quick end. In the meantime, you will continue to rack up rent due, late fees, attorney's fees, court costs, and, depending on the condition of how you end up leaving the premises, additional money damages too.

Best tenant attorney in Osceola County, FL anybody?
Does a text message count as a written notice?
It depends on your local laws, but usually no.
What if the judge isn’t reading over all of your court documents and rule in landlords favor for writ of possession
What if landlord doesn’t follow up with the first eviction months down the line hits you with another one?
This may be a good time to reach out to a landlord-tenant lawyer.
Who is responsible for the eviction costs? The tenant or the Landlord?
I appreciate the informative video but I had a hard time trying to get a clear pronunciation of your words because you are talking too fast, also the background music interferes with me trying to concentrate.
Good but too fast!
My landloard is trying to trade my life
