Eviction - Landlord Forum thread

Eviction by Jo (NH) on July 30, 2012 @07:15

Served my tenant a 30 day eviction notice (stating that his tenancy would be terminated in 30 days). He is still there stating that I agreed to accept late rent from a new roommate that he moved in at the end of this 30 days. He is impossible to talk to due to his anger issues and immaturity. I believe he thinks his eviction is due to late rent when it really is from a large number of things including other tenants complaining about various issues. We have a 30 day rental agreement. Do you suggest I file papers with the District Court - really do not think I have a choice?

Did the court grant you an eviction? I am confused at you serving the tenant with an eviction notice? I have a feeling you might have skipped a step or two at trying to get rid of this tenant. What I know is the norm: 1. 30 day non renewal notice. 2. holdover charges if noted in the original lease {not sure it's possible if not noted?} 3. filing for eviction in COURT {this is where the whole serving the tenant with "eviction papers" would come to place} 4. removing the tenant after eviction is granted by COURT. 5. prepare a sd settlement letter 6. collect moneys due 7. move on I know you just want to get rid of this tenant, I just want to make sure you are following the law, because I am sure you do not want to be the losing legal party in this scenario! :)

Send moveout reminder letter. If he is not out ate end of 30 days, Then file with court to evict for holdover. The court will allow you to evict for holdover, no questions asked as long as you gave proper notice. The court usually has problems with "a large number of things including other tenants complaining about various issues"

Did you serve him a 30-day eviction notice (Correct this behavior or get out in 30 days), or did you issue him a 30-day notice of the end of his tenancy? If he's a month-to-month tenant, a 30 day notice of the end of his tenancy is binding regardless of what monies you accept during that 30 days, but if you accept money after the 30 days, you need to give him notice that it will be applied to his owed balance and does not constitute a new lease. If you issued an actual 30-day eviction notice based on behavior, severing his lease mid-term, you need to follow it up with a full eviction through the courts. Good luck with that. It's a major pain to evict someone in NH for anything other than non-payment.
