It varies by state, but people become tenants in the eyes of the state simply by spending the night in many states. It's pretty crazy. Someone who knows the law could sleep over with a person for a few nights and turn around and get 30 days out of it.

I've dealt with it.
I had six page lawyer drafted leases. The renters don't read, so I had them sign away their rights to fight a lawful eviction.
This was after the tenants from hell. Who bred cats and sublessed the house. Went there one day and some random people where there, I asked for tenants. They had moved out. These new guys were paying rent.
They had nothing in the house but a mattress.
I had two cop friends come over in uniform and help throw the stuff out.
Changed all the locks and spent two months renovating. The people tossed were "Travelers".
The house was a decent house, but after this, hired a property manger.
Well manager was a crack head and rented house to his dealer.
The other side to a bus driver(who parked a beat up school bus on side the house) with three pitt bulls.
My neighbors would call complaining constantly.
After that group left, I sold the house
this right here is why I will never get into the leasing/renting business

i believe you've have to give them a month's notice. I know my ol lady's Gmaw just evicted a renter. Placed eviction notice on door and had to wait 30 days, then if she doesn't agree, it goes through court system.

lol at all the "legal scholars in here," eviction is a simple process

I own rental property in MS. The local court will not even let you file for eviction until the tenant is 60 days past due. Usually about a 90 day process with a court appearance and fees.

Yep

If you throw someone's shite on the street, they could just call the police if they wanted. They don't need a lawyer to get back into your home. Like someone else said, you ever see on LivePD how the cops tell people they need to go through the court to evict someone?
Eviction is easy as far as the process, but you do have to give them a certain amount of days.

I don't think a cops going to let them back in without a lease and without a key to the new locks. And even if there was a verbal agreement, that goes out the window when the person doesn't pay the rent.
And I think you're giving dead beat renters too much credit. Most are going to avoid conflict but will take advantage of anyone they can.

Louisiana allows you to file for eviction with a 5-day notice if the person does not pay their rent. I'm unfamiliar with how long after non-payment, though. Might be immediately. But once filed, you still have to wait out the eviction time range.
quote:
If a tenant has failed to pay rent or has violated the lease and the landlord wishes to evict the tenant, the landlord must first give the tenant a five-day notice to vacate. If the tenant does not move out of the rental unit within five days, the landlord can then file an eviction lawsuit with the court.
Basically, you at least have 5 more days with the person. It is unlikely the tenant will fight beyond this, as they'll have to pay court fees.

Oh, you're totally right that most people have no idea how in-their-favor tenant laws actually are. Generally, you can kick someone out and they'll leave. I just wouldn't risk throwing someone's shite in the street and changing the locks unless I knew for sure the person wouldn't do anything.

This is correct. I was reading it as notice had been given a month ago and the person refuses to move out.
Posted on 12/19/17 at 11:58 am to LouisianaLady
Most leases in the state have a waiver of that 5 day notice.
I still send them but I don’t have to.
But again...
No lease here.

It's not that there was no agreement, there was no signed document.
Verbal agreements aren't worth the paper they're written on.
Your sister simply tells the tenant that the locks are being changed on a specific day and the tenant will not be receiving a key. If they are still there after that, she will call the law and report them as trespassing.
If they've stopped paying their rent, that makes it even easier.

Yeah, I wasn't referring to if there is a lease in place 
People are usually surprised at the rights a non-leased tenant gets. I was too when I realized you can basically force someone to let you stay for a month if you play your cards right.

I don’t know why anybody wouldn’t have a simple lease typed up.

eviction notice( court order) & Sheriff or City Marshall. Worked for me

Remove all the doors for maintenance. No one likes to live without a door.

You folks are acting like you are evicting a doctor and a lawyer from a $3k a month house in CCL. I would wager this is a shotgun house in the hood. Tell them to get their shite and get out or you are changing the locks and putting their stuff to the curb.
My buddy was a legit slum lord owning multiple apartment complexes in Gardere in the early 90's. His family had a warehouse full of TV's, couches, dining room sets, etc. I asked him where it all came from and he said they just would go take stuff when people didn't pay their rent. No one ever complained because it was (and is) the GHETTO and that's how it goes.

Sign new lease with someone for a "furnished" apartment.
I recommend your new lessee be about 6'5" weigh about 340 with numerous tattoos of skulls, knives, and tombstones.
Problem solved.
