House deeded to me after tentants deceased and their son was living with them with no contract or rental agreements made. I have asked the son to leave several times and he won't. All utilities shut off and he is planning on moving another tentant into home! I am new to all of this and just dont know what I need to do without costing me alot of money bc house to repair and make liveable in will take alot of money. Just need some advice on what to do being I am new to this! I would like to get the home vacant so I can fix and live there because it is my home now
A: The eviction process is called forcible entry and detainer. Some landlords handle the process themselves, but I recommend that you hire an attorney.
