Henderson, KY asked in Real Estate Law and Landlord - Tenant for Indiana

Q: My mother in law has a mortgage on a house and has been letting someone live there for the past 7 1/2 months .

She no longer lives in the house and the guy who is living there was supposed to pay her the amount of the house payment every month. He has only paid her about 500 dollars since he moved in. There is no signed lease and she wants him to move. Can she make him move with out filing a eviction notice with the courts?

A: No. You will have to go to court and obtain an eviction order. This can usually be done without an attorney.
