Q: How do I evicted a tenant without a lease
They agreed to pay me rent $750.00 then I agreed to drop it to $500.00 to help them out and they have not paused in seven months
A: You evict them as any other month-to-month tenant. I assume you mean you don't have a written lease with them. That is not required. You only have to show that there is an agreement that the tenant would lease or rent the premises from you. If you can show that by testimony in Court, and also show that they live there are are not paying, you can evict them. I assume this is a residential lease, for a house or apartment and not for a mobile home lot. This has to be done in just the right way to work. Google Alabama Landlord Tenant Act for information. You would be smart to get a lawyer to help you.
