If you refuse to let Rent A Center in your house, can they call the police on you?
After watching a neighbor go through this situation I can tell you just what will happen. First you’ll receive a few phone calls saying you’re late or behind on payments. They’ll ask you to return the item(s) or say they can/will send someone to retrieve them. Depending on how handled that, or more likely ignored their phone calls, they’ll send a crew.Assuming you don’t allow them in to take the item(s), they’ll likely leave and report back to their superior who will then make a few last attempts to contact you before threatening to sue. Please understand, this isn’t a threat that will fall short, assuming you’ve agreed to rent more than $1,500, assume that they will follow through. And any lawyer you find to take the case will tell you that you’re best to settle out of court and return the item as well as now pay the additional fees you’ve accrued from dragging this out. In other words, because you signed a contract, it’s safe to assume it’s a legally binding contract and you’ve gone against the terms of the contract.In the situation with my neighbor, the cops were called because she and the retrieval crew caused a bit of ruckus and a neighbor called the cops. When the cops did come, they quickly understood the situation and quickly said that the situation was a civil matter and that they wouldn’t get involved. Though they did say if the situation continued to bother neighbors, they would arrest those involved for disturbing the peace. My neighbor refused to let the men into her home, the men didn’t want to cause any more trouble and left. A few weeks later the neighbor received a noticed that was she was being sued for breach of contract. According to her, she went to 4 different lawyers and all 4 told her to settle out of court and either return the item or pay the remaining amount of the item, as well as prepare to pay the legal fees and so on because the odds of winning the case were very very low.So can they call the police? Sure, but the police won’t do anything for a civil matter. But Rent-A-Center will sue for the remaining amount/item and additional fees you’ve now racked up.
What can a landlord do if a tenant refuses to leave after an eviction notice?
That depends on what you mean by “eviction notice.”An eviction notice is issued by a court after a legal process in which the landlord has been awarded possession of the premises.The eviction process is handled by a court and, if necessary, by local law enforcement pursuant to a court order. If the tenant refuses to leave after the eviction notice has been served then he or she will be forcibly removed from the premises. There is nothing the landlord needs to do.A landlord cannot issue an eviction notice because only a court has the power to evict someone from their home.But a landlord can issue a “termination notice” or a “notice to vacate” or similar notices to the tenant pursuant to the terms of the lease. If such notices have been properly issued and served, and the tenant refuses to leave, then the landlord must file a dispossession action in the local civil court which, after due process, will result in the court issuing an “eviction notice” as described above.
How can you legally ask a roommate leave??
"Im sorry that your not set that well but you have to go!"
Can my roommate call the police on my guest if she says he makes her feel "unsafe"? He stays in my room for most of his time in the apartment. What are my rights? Because I know she does not feel unsafe and is only using that as a tactic.
You are asking about your rights but you are overlooking your obligations.If your roommate is paying half the rent then you’re wrong for bringing in a third person she can’t stand without first checking and clearing it with her.A person’s own home is a place where they deserve to feel relaxed and comfortable. If her name is on the lease alongside yours then she really does get to say who is invited in to her home.And she does not need to explain her reasons to you for refusal of entry into her home (because it is her home as much as it’s yours, isn’t it?) Your suggestion that she’s lying about how safe she feels holds no weight. She has the right to refuse his entry on any basis whatsoever.Whether it’s a question of safety or something else, she owes you no explanation. The guests ushered into your joint home have to be invited and accepted by both of you.Why don’t you three sit down and seek to renegotiate the lease together so that your three names are on the lease and you and your guest together pay two thirds of the rent and bills?Possibly that won’t happen because you guys aren’t the right people to be living together.By the way, since you like your guest so much, all the problems will be solved if he invites you to stay in his room instead. If he has roommates, he can just clear it with them that you can be their guest and you can spend most of your time in his room.You have the same rights as your roommate and the same obligations.
Should I call the cops on my roommate who smokes weed?
No. Move out. Calling the police is like calling the neighbor to bring over his pit bull because you heard a noise downstairs. The pit bull might take care of the burglar, but you risk getting mauled in the process. Call the police when you have to or when the risk to yourself is limited. You don’t need your own drug charges if your roommate makes up a story about sharing the drugs and you only called the police because he was broke and didn’t pay you for his half.Every day you live there you run the risk of being arrested for possession, distribution, or something worse. That could end up costing you thousands of dollars in legal fees and court costs, and you could still wind up with a permanent criminal record and your mug shot all over pay-to-get-your-privacy-back websites.It stinks, but don’t get emotional. Make it a business decision. Weigh the risks and act in your best interest.Good luck!Plano Texas Child Custody Lawyer Preston Park
If a person leaves something on your property for more than 30 days what can you do about that object?
Put a note on the truck stating if not removed may be towed. attempt to send him letters 3 times. generally that covers you legally and you need them registered letters. Then im sure if no response you can claim abandonment and file a quick claim on the title or if its a piece of junk have a salvage yard tow it off, they might even give you a little cash for it if there are parts they can sell.
Can i make my roommates girlfriend leave?
I don't know the specific terms of your lease, but you don't have any right to remove the guest of a roommate, because whatever privilege you cite for having the guest removed (ie. you live there) equally applies to your roommate for permitting the guest to stay (ie. is a guest of a resident, who also lives there, roommate status is irrelevant). Legally, you have to work it out yourself or suck it up. However, you might want to look for a guest clause in your lease. Some leases have this clause that determines the maximum amount of time for any guest to be on the premises. This time frame is usually two weeks, after which the guest must vacate the premises for a period of usually one week before allowed back for another two week period. This helps to keep individuals from residing on the property without being subject to the terms of the lease. Violation of this clause can result in physical removal of the guest from the premises and/or trespassing charges being filed, not to mention breach of contract proceedings (for violation of lease terms) and possible subsequent eviction of your roommate. If your lease has this clause, you can bring it up to the landlord and they can take appropriate actions. This clause is a legal course of action for the landlord only, and cannot be cited by you personally as reason to have her vacated. Keep in mind this is a double-edged sword. If you end up coming to terms with your roommate and permit the guest to stay (ie. agrees to chipping in for utilities/rent), the guest clause still stands. If the landlord catches whiff that you have an illegitimate resident living there, you could all go down hard for violation of that term of the lease, up to and including legal proceedings and eviction.
My roommate's friend makes me very uncomfortable and wont leave my house. Can i get a restraining order?
You call the police and they escort her out. What the heck is going on with your roommate that she wont make her friend leave? Has she been living there too, if she has been living there her rights are different and lease or not you may have to evict her. Take the easy way first. Call the police, say, she doesn't live here, she threatens me, im scared of her, I'm afraid she will hurt me and I want her out of my home. If you can get a letter from the landlord that says she does not live there and give it to the police when they come. Good luck!
Can I tell my roommate's guest that he can't have a gun in my house?
You can tell him, of course, but if the roommate has invited him over then he can come over. As a police officer, he's probably required by his job to carry the weapon, even when off-duty. If I were you, I would tell him how uncomfortable the gun makes you and ask him to ensure the gun is out of sight and out of reach of anyone while he's in the home. Explain your fears about the kids and I'm sure he'll cooperate as much as possible. On the bright side, I would feel safer knowing there was a police officer in the home. Think of the alternative if your roommate was dating some drug-dealing creep.
