Q: I am a tenant and needed to know the steps I can take to evict someone not on lease but who has “established residency”.
They refuse to leave and the cops said I would have to file eviction but when I pull up eviction paper from county courthouse it has ‘landlord name’ for the blank space and I’m wondering if judge will grant me as the tenant the eviction
A:
You need to report the unauthorized squatter to your landlord and allege that the landlord is interfering with your right to "quiet enjoyment" of the premises you lease from it.
It then becomes incumbent on your landlord to evict the squatter.
