Re: how do you evict a person who is not on the lease? by Monica (Ohio) on October 27, 2014 @22:32

                              
I don't know if this is Ohio specific, good question. From my own experience, I had a tenant who moved people in charging them rent without my knowledge or permission, in fact, not only was this not allowed per my lease but I very specifically told her not to do that when I signed a lease with her.

A day came when she called me asking me to evict her guests. Surprised, I told her, "you better get them out or I will evict all of you". She called the police who would do nothing to help her remove them which is pretty common, the cops don't generally get involved in these.

A current situation where my daughter allowed a couple to move in with her just a couple of weeks ago, had not charged them rent yet, giving them the first month free. She wanted them out of the house like this minute, she called the cops who would not make them leave but because I showed up to calm the situation down, the officer told me that it was up to me (I own the property). He wasn't keen on making them leave because the girl is pregnant but would have made them leave if I gave that call.

It appears that it is up to the officer depending of the situation to handle these on a case by case basis. Someone who paid for the space for the month can not be thrown out by an officer, if that's the case, why would we landlords have to go to eviction court to remove tenants? That's the problem with tenants renting space out of their home, if they don't own it, they can not evict anyone and they end up in a mess.
