I am having a problem with a non paying tenant

28 1/2 months? You mean this guy hasn't paid rent in over 2 years? I can't believe how long you've allowed this to go on. What you need to do immediately,is put his belongings outside, get a locksmith and have the locks on the apt changed.Your unpaying tenant is also responsible for any damages incurred while he was living there. if he refuses to pay,you can take him to court and sue him for back rent and damages. And as far as the 3 month law is concerned, this guy hasn't paid rent in over 2 years, so, any judge in the world would tell you that you can legally evict him immediately.

Before you do anything, try to seek the help of your family, friends, and relatives. This is for your own protection just in case he gets wild and unruly. Here in our country, I think there isn't any law prescribing a three-month free rental before one could be evicted. I believe you have all the right to proceed with eviction. But do this with utmost care, if possible. My mom also has several units for rent back in the province. And one of those renting is a family who has an overdue rent of one year. You may not believe it but it's true. It took a lot of coaxing from us (3 children) before our mother finally decided to evict them. One more fact which aggravated the issue is the instance that we see them buying several appliances and yet they can't settle their overdue rent with us. At present, they're living somewhere else but they still have some balance with us.

Mate, just kick him to the kerb.. Put his stuff on the street and change the locks on the doors downstair's, if it get's nasty, take out a court order on him preventing him coming on your property. We had a bloke downstairs and he done the runner owing us rent, but left his t.v and a few other things.So im keepin all of it to cover the money he owes us and to cover the fact we had to change the locks as he still has his key and we had to clean it all up, so we could let someone else move in. Im not sure about the 3 month part, you should check with the police, it seems you may not have a choice in the end. Good luck with it all.

hey i have heard of similar problems with friends home. if he paid you cash in the first place and there is no paper trail that he ever lived in your house you call the cops. he will not have any proof he lived there long enough, this is a unethical way to get him out but he was wrong for not paying.

You take him to court the judge will tell him to get out... just go to the local court house explain to them and they will tell u what u need to do... a leagal eviction should always go through a court heasring if the tenant does not comply with the original eviction notice:) goodluck

he is a Grown Man, and you shouldn't have to listen to him, mainly because you are the Boss!!.. if he doesn't want to pay up! Kick him 2 the Curb, many other people will come to move in and pay, or just wait one whole month without bothering him && then when the three months are over, Take Action fast!

First off, I have never heard of the 3 month law. I researched your state and did not find anything regarding a time period. You can evict your tenant for non-payment of rent. See this link for more information: http://doj.nh.gov/consumer/sourcebook/renting_security.html

Give him a "formal" eviction letter that states since you have not paid rent since xyz, please remove all your belongings from the property located at __________ (address) by midnight on ________(list date). Keep a copy. Better yet go down and get him to sign it and give it back to you...give him a copy. Evict him. Call the cops if you have to, you have a copy of the letter in hands.

If you go through the proper legal channels it will take about that amount of time to get him out.(3 months) You must fill out eviction notices at your courthouse. They will serve him papers and then if he does not leave you can take his belongings and put them on the side of the road. You will need a police officer there when you do that so he can see that you do not keep anything that does not belong to you. You can then change the locks so the key he has will not open any doors. Do not do this unless he has been served the papers or he can sue you. Yes, the law is very strange but this is the only legal way to get rid of unwanted tenants. Please check before you do anything, you must take legal steps to stay within the law. Best of luck

Hello oscarbartoni! if the tenant is not vacating your house in stipulated time you get in to the house bags and baggages and put on your belongings there,and thus he will be forced to leave the house.while doing so you please take help of some of your friends and well wishers so the morally he will be forced to leave.but before doing so you allow him reasonable time.that will serve your purpose.if still continue better lock the house yourself and don't allow him at any cost to get in to the house.thank you.all he best.
