Do eviction laws differ for tenants of rooming/boarding houses versus apartments or houses?
Question Details:
We have 2 tenants we need to evict for non-payments of rent. One tenant we haven't heard from since the beginning of this year and we have no phone. We have left letters on his door to communicate with him but have heard nothing. The other tenant we have tried to work with allowing him to pay a little each week. We have served both tenants the 3-day eviction and leave the premises notices.
Yes, but I don’t believe the differences would apply to your situation. You should send a written demand for the property (room) - it might seem strange since they are only renting a room, but you have to make sure they either receive it or you make all reasonable efforts to get it to them. Then, if they do not leave after that date, you can file a dispossessory action in the magistrate court of your county.
