It states in my lease that paying in an untimely manner can lead to eviction. I have yet to give them a notice. I just want them out.

If the Lease Contract actually has that term, then file a Detainer Warrant. Suing For Possession Only would probably meet your objectives. Service or Posting is Notice To Quit.

The owner will have to file and prosecute a Detainer Warrant in General Sessions.
When my husband's parents passed away last year, we inherited their home. About a month later, we got a note from the HOA that they hadn't paid most of the time, about $1280 worth. Now that our name is on the deed, are we responsible for that past due amount? I've looked through the... Read more »

HOA dues are a lien against the property, not the owners. If not paid, foreclosure occurs whether you bought or inherited the condo.
Shouldn't i get at least 30 days i cant find a place in 2 days plus i have no lease i need more than 2 days

You could wait until a Detainer Warrant is served upon you. The full removal process would usually be 45 days or longer. But the owner may mess with you, like cutting off utilities, etc. You might ask for money to leave fast.
The Plaintiff (Landlord) won the Detainer Warrant hearing by default as I could not appear due to my being hospitalized the night before the Hearing at 9 am. (However, I had no real defense, I was behind and had no way to come up with what I owed; 2 months rent, so I was expecting to lose at the... Read more »

If you are still in possession ten days after the Judgment, then the landlord can ask for a
Writ of Possession to issue. Usually the Sheriff will contact you to leave prior to force, but it is not required. Not going to Court probably forfeited your Security Deposit which you did not... Read more »
What are our (tenant) rights? Can we change the locks so landlord cannot gain entry?

answered on Feb 7, 2022
Landlord/Owner has a right to go on leasehold. It is probably in your Lease with a notice provision, which is why they told you. Trying to prevent the landlord's lawful entry will be a breach of contract and grounds for a Detainer Warrant. I would take pictures of everything before I left.

You have no right but you can ask the landlord/owner to replace wore out fixtures.
Since I moved out. And they just called me saying the damages went over my 850 security deposit and I owe them $250.

answered on Dec 23, 2021
SOL of property torts is 3 years. So the owner has plenty of time to sue you for damages. I would think they would keep your security deposit and forget about the rest. But if they serve you with a Civil Warrant, go to Court and deny any such damages.

Have you been served with a Detainer Warrant? Have you went to Court and the Judge granted the owner's request for possession? If not, then the Detainer Process has not been completed. If so, then after the time for an appeal expires, a Writ of Possession can be executed which physically... Read more »
I live in a mobile home. My landlord, whose name is on the land, passed away in April. We had a verbal agreement, with his brother as a witness, that said I am allowed to live here as long as I wish and said on multiple occasions that his daughters will honor that if anything happens. I have been a... Read more »

Yes the owners can recover possession. A Detainer Warrant is the usual method, but there are others. Your oral agreement is not enforceable past a month. You should have expected this.
I have a large dog and no way to make arrangements while I am work tomorrow. I told this to the property manager and her response was she only has to give 24 hours notice.

answered on Nov 29, 2021
Look at the terms of your lease. Typically, 24 hours is sufficient notice.

If you are the titled owner, you can break the door down. But do not get in a fight, or you will be arrested and the occupant will have leverage. Hire an attorney to file a Detainer Warrant For Possession Only immediately.

answered on Oct 25, 2021
You can talk to your landlord and try to settle the rent problem. But he might take the money, then continue the Detainer litigation. It may be best to look elsewhere for housing, as he may already have a new renter with money. It will take some time to actually remove you from the property.

answered on Oct 13, 2021
Not sure of your question. But it sounds like you have breached the Lease Contract by paying late, for which there may not be a late payment penalty or waiver of timely payments.

You can file a Detainer Warrant for both Possession and Back Due Rent. You will probably get a Judgment, but you may not be able to collect it. It helps if you know where he works and banks.

You need an attorney to represent you to prove Restitution has already been made.

answered on Oct 1, 2021
What is your question? You have given up possession, so no Detainer Warrant. The owner might sue you for rent due or damages, but it may be hard to serve you.

It may have been Conversion. But it was definitely Criminal Trespassing for you to go back there.

answered on Sep 14, 2021
You do not "file" for adverse possession. If you are serious, then hire a very competent attorney who actually conducts real property litigation (not closings), and pay him alot of money for advice what to do for the next several years.
