A landlord can terminate any month to month tenant by giving 30 days notice. If the landlord gave you that notice, then the eviction could have been proper. You must retain a lawyer to check. But even if you could get this eviction changed, the landlord could immediately give you the notice and... View More
He refuses to leave and is NOT on the lease. Can I evict him myself? The clerk of courts told me I can print off a 30 day eviction and serve him . id rather not get my landlord invovled

Some courts allow a tenant to evict an occupant, other courts require the landlord to evict. Check with your local court or use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local attorney to advise you. Court personnel might not answer questions or give correct answers.
she says she doesn't want him here and that she'll give me a great recommendation. Is that legal? I've just signed a one-year lease with her.

No, that does not give an option to break the lease. Tenant is responsible for the rent for the full term of the lease until its expiration. If rent is not paid, landlord can sue for the rent, minus any rent landlord collects from a new tenant.

He wants to get the rest of his stuff and I was wondering what the time limit was on that
answered on Sep 17, 2020
There is no time limit. If you don't let him get his things, he could file a police report against you for keeping it, and you could be charged. Or he could sue you. You could claim he abandoned it, and the court would then decide.
Will a simple statement (without a list of transactions) work? Or do they need the original agreement and list of transactions? This is for an unpaid credit card debt that was charged off and sold to Midland Credit. (Assume you're trying to fight it without filing bankruptcy please.)

If you filed for bankruptcy after the debt was incurred and you received a discharge, all that they need is your case number.
We called the cops and they said that since they have mail coming in we need to give them a 30 day eviction notice.

As the police said, only a court-ordered eviction can get them out. Some courts allow a tenant to file an eviction to remove unwanted occupants. But other courts require the landlord to file the eviction. Call your local court to find out if you or your landlord must file the eviction, starting... View More

The cops are unlikely to do anything. They certainly won't make him pay money. The aren't collection agents. That isn't what cops do. She would have to go to small claims court.

If you want to work it out with the Attorney General's representative, you better start discussing it with them. If you wait until court, they will probably just go for the garnishment and get it.

Ask them for proof of the debt. The FDCPA requires they provide this upon request. Many third party debt collectors don't have it and will give up.
