Same as evicting anyone at your rental. Give them a 3 or 5 day notice to quit, then go to court, file eviction papers. Follow the proper procedure. Even if they never paid and are just listed as 'occupant', if they are an adult, they have rights and must be evicted legally. Get a lawyer if necessary to do all this for you unless you are really good at doing evictions yourself. --72.199.xx.xxx

The tenant was given notice already. What about other people the tenant invited in? Must one treat them as tenants being aware they have been living on the premesis and did not ask them to leave years ago? --73.241.xx.xx

In NH you can evict the named people on the lease “ and all other occupants” (I think is the correct phrase). A set of paperwork is needed to serve each name. Joe Smith, Jane Doe and all other occupants - need 3 sets of paperwork to post and serve. Don’t know about CA. --107.77.xxx.xx

How long does this take to happen if the tenants fight back? --73.241.xx.xx

Any 'unknown' or known adults living in the house, must either be listed on the eviction papers by name, or if not known, as 'Does 1 through 10' on the paperwork. If that is not done, the inhabitants can sign a 'right to possession' form (which should have been served with the original eviction paperwork) when the law comes to do the lock out. It obligates them to be included in the lawsuit and therefore responsible for paying for any damages or unpaid rent the judge may grant the Landlord. Most 'occupants' prefer not to have an eviction on their records and probably won't sign to accept responsibility. It would be silly to add your name to a court prosecution you don't have to join. The court system in your city should have all the paperwork and instructions necessary on their website to coach you through an eviction. Check the Superior Court Website in your city for advice, but it's much better to just hire a lawyer to do this all for you. However, if you are actually the Tenant and not the Landlord, I'd advise finding a new place to live pronto. Non-payment of rent cases are usually settled in favor of the Landlord. --72.199.xx.xxx

Well James Smith, or is it Jose Cruz that you’re going by now, it’s time to move son. You have no water, you have no lease, and you were issued a N2Q, which you already stated was half over. So pack your $hit and move. --174.196.xxx.xx

How bad does your apartment stink, James/Jose? --98.13.xx.xxx

Just pack up and leave. Do yourself a favor . Get out before the biker gang shows up. It happens in CA. --99.203.xxx.xx

Moshe, you do realize that Jose/Jim is not only the same person, but trying to screw his LL and stay after being issued a 30 N2Q 14 days ago in a unit that the water has been shut off to by the utility company? --174.196.xxx.xx

Perfect example of future nonsense. --199.192.xxx.x

I would also call your tenant that moved out and let them know since the unit/property wasn't completely vacated, you have no choice but to sue them also. It is in their best interest to speak with the person in the rental and try to get them out also. --47.155.xx.xxx

A judge here in NJ evicted someone who was not on a lease when the others moved out. He asked her where her name was on the lease. She babbled something about renting just the room and he said she needed to get out immediately. I was there to evict someone and watched this happen. Three young men in the Catholic school I attended became judges. One is a federal judge. It's something about the unfairness of treatment at that school perhaps. Maybe that explains why 6 of the 9 are Catholic. --71.104.xx.xxx

If they can't get their friend out, then you evict ALL PARTIES on the lease as well as all other residents. Let the actual signer to the lease know that they will be named in the eviction as well, and it will follow them around. --67.43.xxx.xxx

James/Jose it sounds like your wife/roommate/good buddy who let you move in moved out and got even by turning off the utilities when they moved out. Since you aren’t on the lease (Leading me to believe good buddy) you are left with no option except to MOVE. Better done today than tomorrow because you have no water. --71.161.xxx.xxx
