I'm a tenant and I have learned a lot here tonight watching! Thank you so much!
I learned how to do evictions without a lawyer. But it took a long time for me to learn all the details. I didn't know you can give a 10 day notice on day two if he doesn't pay rent on the due date. I didn't know you could end a lease without a reason. I have no problem filling out forms and going to court.
Great advices! I’d love to ask Jenn if she could be my mentor if I were in her state. Totally agree with her about how important to inform/discuss things that could go wrong upfront and keep emotion down. The last example she gave about finding out the applicant who was evicted twice before was amazing! Thank you for the great advice again :)
Great video...very informative and great advice.
I’m moving out at the end of the month. I really like my landlord but I’m not sure he knows the notice requirements for evicting. He thought a 30 day notice was used for late rent (in Washington like apparently most states) it’s 3 days. There is a process of course but not much notice for late rent. In my case it’s a no cause termination (on my part) and here it’s 20 days from end of rental period. He should know that out of a lease either party can generally terminate the rental agreement that way.
Ending agreements even on good terms sucks.
Great advice
Landlaords these days literally do none of this and also set the rent up so you can’t even make partial payments and then if your payment schedule is a little off they still apply late fee, then they make you liable for the amount even if they evict you, landlords….smh
As a landlord, allowing partial payments is a nightmare. Imagine having to keep track of how much your tenant has paid you if they pay in amounts of $35.38, $130.17, $987.83. It's an accounting nightmare
@@stephenyoder3134 Thank you for your perspective first and foremost . Bringing attention to how landlords have no problem keeping track of tenants who dont pay rent or if they’re late on rent. Also landlords can set limits to partial payments. Ive seen them set up ways to pay rent online, adding a partial payment option wouldn’t be hard(can still limit amount of partial payments). Just seems like landlords are more focused on getting the money regardless of what it costs the tenants.
@@PervySageSquishy many landlords like myself that are small scale (I just rent out a room in my house) don't have the money for expensive automated software to keep track of payments. This makes it much easier
Is it legal to evict a tenet with no notice? Just change the locks while they go to grocery or something; and leave a hand written note saying they have to come to the office for a key so that they can utilize a one hour time line to move out their stuff or loose it all!?
Uhhh no...it's not lol. Wish it was though!
^ only shitty landlords would want to break into someone’s house and change the locks and play devil games, landlords that are shitty people is the reason why tenants have rights visa versus. Shitty tenants ruin it for everyone.
The notice is the most important thing for the eviction court. But you have to do it perfectly right or the judge will dismiss it.
ok so I am a landlord been one for 10yr Ive had to evict only 4 people in those 10yr all where successful eviction but they where only for 3day non payments of rent and for other thing .. I have a tendency now that I am going to terminate there lease with a 15 day notice (because this is a month to month lease) and evict that way .Reason I am going to do some renovation on home bathroom plus leaving the country for 6month
so I got a complaint form for this type of termination just want to see what you all think about its only for possession ..If you dont mind helping I am not getting a attorney as I know about the filing of eviction and the motions as well all the way down to the writ. example bellow
COMPLAINT FOR EVICTION Plaintiff, [insert name of Landlord], sues Defendant, [insert name of Tenant] and alleges: 1.
