No, but what counts is whether a Detainer Warrant has been filed or not.
My Grandson is now paying for himself and roommate. What are my Grandson's options ?
answered on Feb 2, 2023
You should probably have your grandson talk to an attorney.
His roommate’s actions could constitute theft, unjust enrichment, or other. The lease will govern much of what your grandson can do. Just generally, your grandson may wish to move out. Heavy drug use often leads to bad... Read more »
Lived in LA and found a listing for someone who was looking to get out of their existing lease early (not a sublease).
An addendum was signed by all parties (the former tenant, myself, and property manager), stating that my name would be added to the lease and that the former tenant's... Read more »

It looks like the landlord is keeping the previous tenant’s security deposit as your security deposit in lieu of refunding the previous tenant’s and you depositing a new one. So you have been unjustly enriched unless you repay the previous tenant.
Oregon Real Estate Landlord / Tenant issue. The tenant with whom there is a signed lease agreement subleased the apartment to a friend during covid and now the friend is not paying rent.

You will need to serve the tenant with the proper 144 hr or 72 hr notice and, if not timely paid, file to evict in court. While I offer some partial eviction services on a flat fee basis, I don't know any attorney who offers a flat fee for an eviction start to finish. That is because there... Read more »
My lease says I have until the 8th of each month, but my complex says they've changed the date to anytime after the 1st.
answered on Feb 1, 2023
As with all legal questions, it depends.
CO has very recently passed certain laws relating to late fees. The change may be an attempt to comply with that law. But it sounds like they may be moving in the wrong direction. If they start to charge you late fees then you may wish to reach out... Read more »

I don't mean to sound rude, but you've made a statement rather than asking a question. Do you have a question? You'll want to use somewhat correct terminology. A "land patent" typically refers to the initial grant of a piece of land by the government to an individual or... Read more »

The notice is a 3 day "Pay or leave" notice, correct? It means that you need to pay the rent in full in 3 days OR leave. If you don't, then the landlord can file an eviction action against you.
While you situation is serious and heartbreaking, the fact that your son is... Read more »
My friend went to rehab and got kicked out. We were allowing him to stay until his grandfather's funeral. We found out he stole some of my step-father's pain medication. When he was asked to leave he got violently upset, stated he lived here because he has stuff here. He's stating I... Read more »

Under those circumstances, you should formally evict him. Since there was no agreement as to rent, you need to give him 30 days advance written notice of the termination of any tenancy rights he may have. If he doesn’t leave by then, you will need to file an eviction case in your local justice... Read more »

Tenant had been on a one year lease about four years ago, we never renewed or offered renewal and so I believe she is now "month to month" essentially. In New Jersey, can we simply send her a lease termination letter with proper notice? Or do we need "good cause" to do so? We... Read more »

Yee, you may send such a letter. Be sure that it is given prior to the commencement of the Next month's term. Further it should provide a minimum of 30 days notice to vacate.

If my Landlord terminates my lease because of a lease violation ( though I do have proof that the accusation is false) will it hurt my credit? At this point I’m sick of my landlord and their management company and I want to get out.
answered on Jan 31, 2023
It depends on the terms of the lease and the circumstances surrounding as to why you may want to terminate. Most standardized leases have an option that they can collect and attempt to recover damages as a result of the breach of the lease contract. However, it is possible that there are defenses...

Your question fails to state whether the notice was a letter from the landlord or an ntice from the Court after a court earing was scheduled. If a letter from the landlord with no notice from the Court, you do not have to move, NJ Courts do not recognize self help. The Landlord must follow the... Read more »
I need help with lawsuit for money in chancery anybody can represent me. In Essex County NJ
I am getting surd by ex landlord becuase he could not sell house
answered on Jan 30, 2023
Chancery Court in NJ does not hear suit concerning money. It is a Court of Equity. Suits for damages are heard in Law Division. Depending on the amount in controversy, suits for money damages are in small claim, special civil part, or superior court.

If the stay has been lifted, the original writ can now be enforced by the sheriff. No new writ has to issue or be served. The sheriff will show up when the landlord schedules the writ to be executed. It could be any day now that the stay is lifted.
The landlord started renovating the apartment instead of looking for a new tenant.

From a legal perspective, if it's your house you don't need to give your ex notice that someone else is moving in. On the other hand, I'm guessing your new girlfriend and you will lead a much more peaceful life if you evict the ex-girlfriend before moving the new girlfriend into the... Read more »
