Have questions- need answers asap by dawn a (garfield, new jersey) on November 3, 2009 @13:26
i am the plaintiff in an eviction.i know i may not interrupt use of water and such even though tenants are in non-compliance for payment.in a side deal in addendum tenants rent driveway wich they also have'nt paid.they put notes in all their car windows stating i could not have vehicle towed or touch without incurring criminal charges and refused me access to blacktop even though work was planned for after move out date they gave?the addendum states they can end use at any time in favor of town parking permit.can't i just tell them they have to park on street?i need the income for space.

i made a deal with tenant that i am now evicting for security.they were to pay 100.00 per month in a separate check to go into int.bearing account till caught up.their lawyer got a continuance for me to prove my apt.is legal.when we go back to court,am i allowed to request that tenants supplys.s #s and next address so damage to apt.can be satisfied since i was stupid enough to (work with them)the order for payments are in addendum to lease.

what amount of interest may i request in civil suit for non-payment of rent/apartement destroyed to the point of unrentable.

am i allowed to file some sort of desist order to tenants lawyer for use of my driveway or sneaking use of my personal laundry facilities.(washer dryer hook-up made available to said tenant)i am pro se and my tenants state they will not speak to me,i should address questions to their lawyer who does not answer.these people can do a lot of damage in the time it will take to get them out and have clogged sewer main twice in last week.(can prove on purpose.3 clean-outs and fabric was at theirs.)they had a plumber here while i was snaking line which they sent away.how did they know of problem before i did?my basement has filled with feces twice. help!what are my legal responses?

how much information should i give my tenants lawyer?i am pro se.i am in the right,but he's twisted the info already.what should be stated by fax or e-mail now andwhat should i keep to myself?does he have to make my communications record since tenant refers me to him?

GET A LAWYER.... You don't know what you are doing. It will save you time and money to just hire an attorney.

I agree with Micah, get a lawyer, you are going to need help since they have a lawyer that is trying to run you into the ground.

Get a lawyer....in the meantime DO NOT SPEAK TO THEIR LAWYER. their lawyer is looking for info to use against you, or come up with a defense for the evidence you have. he will twist everything to his clients' favor. DO NOT SPEAK TO TENANT OR THEIR ATTORNEY!!!

Are you NUTS? Do NOT deal with thier lawyer. Get your own.

You should already had thier SSN's. DO NOT rent to people without getting this and verifying.

Sounds to me like if the "driveway?" is a contract completely seperate from the home, you might be able to get away with having thier car towed. I don't think this is a criminal matter, even if you are in the wrong. I think you should ask YOUR LAWYER about having his car impounded ASAP.
