Yes. From what you described he sounds like he needs to be evicted through legal means if he chooses to stay.
I purchased a 2 family Feb 18th 2020. 60 day notice was given accordingly. We moved on April 1st and found there to be a guy who had been renting a room from the former tenant unbeknownst to us. Called the police but due to covid, we were told that he legally had a right to stay. With two young... Read more »

Is this legal?
I have already paid the deposit of 1.5 months rent when I moved in.
It's a 2 year lease.
That is not a thing. Use your damage deposit to pay your rent as per the last round of executive orders.
They are saying that she has someone else living with her, that's why they are fining her, but no-one else lives with her.
She should write to the landlord and explain her position. She should not have to pay fines that are wrong.
there is good reason not, to under applicable law, not less than 90 days from the expiration date. This date is very soon, so I asked the 'Landlord' for the new lease. The lease was signed by the person who had power of attorney for the owner, so they are our landlord. We found out last... Read more »

You can continue to live in the apartment month-to-month, however, the landlord may eventually move for eviction for your failure to sign a new lease. Or you can negotiate with your landlord for that provision.
He is refusing to leave and it's getting pretty violent and it's not a peaceful household. He's been living here since November 1st, paying half of the rent. He did not pay for the month of May yet.
While there is a moratorium on evictions, it sounds like there is domestic violence potentially at play. You may be able to obtain a temporary restraining order which would require his removal at least temporarily.
And with the pandemic going on what does the law say about that?
Month to month is just that. When you give notice a month in advance, you move out at the end of the time when you said you were going to move.
We have to deal with different people sometimes total strangers to us since he does not inform us someone new is staying in basement for 2-3 days (it looks like he may be preparing rooms in the attic now).

My landlord is taking me to court for nonpayment of rent which I’m prepared to pay yet she is including $600 of late fees from some previous months. The paperwork for eviction says they must be listed in the lease agreement as “additional rent”, which it’s not. Just listed as “late fee”.
If you cannot make an arrangement with your landlord prior to the court date, make sure to point that out to the mediator and judge.
You should be able to avoid paying it as it is not listed as additional rent. Make sure to check all paragraphs on your lease.
Yes. It WIll will hold them up.
Yes. They are supposed to. About the only thing that doesn't need notice is non payment of rent.
If I rent it to someone and down the road he/she will stop paying rent as agreed upon. Can I sue the tenant in a court of law?

I would not get a realtor to help you draft a good lease for your new rental property. It is in my opinion that you consult with a qualified attorney whom has experience with Landlord-Tenant issues, so they may draft you a lease that is good for your needs! Best of luck!
