FAQ
The date that the tenant warning letter was written. The name and the basic personal information of the tenant. The name of the landlord or the owner of the property. The reason why a tenant warning letter has been written.
No Texas statute addresses landlord's entry, but Texas courts have held that a landlord may not enter the rental property unless entry is authorized by the lessee. Once a residential property is leased, the landlord's ability to enter the rental unit is diminished.
The big take-away is that in most circumstances a landlord cannot enter a property without agreement from the tenant. And If the landlord ignores the law and enters the property without permission, the tenant may be able to claim damages or gain an injunction to prevent the landlord doing it again.
Send a 3-day notice to fix or quit. If the tenant doesn't follow through with a fix, visit your local courthouse and begin a filing for eviction. In some states, you can file to only evict the unauthorized tenant. In others, you'll have the option to evict your tenant as well as the unauthorized occupant.
There is no written agreement When your roommate has month-to-month tenancy, California state law says that you can evict them by serving 30 or 60 days' notice without any reasoning.
Notice to Vacate The amount of time the tenant has to move out or fix a certain problem before an eviction suit is filed. This must be at least 3 days unless the lease specifically states otherwise.
A landlord is not required to give specific notice of the landlord's interest in entering the property, unless the lease specifies it. This means, in some circumstances, a landlord may enter a leased property without notice to the tenant, even when there is no emergency, if the lease allows it.
When you rent a property from a landlord it becomes your home. They should only enter the property without you being present, if you have given permission for them to do so, or in a genuine emergency.
Sue the landlord and whoever for up to $10,000 in small claims court for trespassing, breach of contract, invasion of privacy, and breach of quiet enjoyment; if you are two or more tenants, each can separately sue them for up to $10,000, and a joint action is not required.
