Re: Eviction where there is no lease by OK-LL on September 25, 2010 @22:08

Sounds like the tenant is paying their rent, but not utilities. Without a lease or utility agreement, the utility responsibility is a he-said, she-said situation, so LL cannot evict for non-payment of utilities. LL cannot turn utilities off as this is viewed by the court as "self-help eviction" action. Therefore, the only proper avenue is for LL to serve the termination of tenancy notice to tneant and waiting the (30?) days, then evicting if they holdover. Check your FL LL/T law to determine the proper termination of tenancy notice period.
