Evicting a stay over tennat in an unregistered by frank acheampong (MD) on November 29, 2016 @08:43

I have a house that I reside in and that I have registered as an LLC and also run my business out off. I am hardly there and just sleep there on average about once a month. I have one room rented to an individual who owes in excess of 12 months rent. Seeing as the property is an LLC and I am the only officer in the LLC can I start eviction proceedings even though the home is not registered as a rental property because I live there? How do I prove that I live there when all bills are in the LLC name. Must eveiction be by the LLC?
Thanks

Do you have any kind of a written lease with this person, and have you given him any written notices to pay the rent or move? If you have allowed the person to live rent-free for a year without DOING anything about it, a judge is not going to be very sympathetic towards your problem. They may refuse to evict the person until you have given the proper eviction paperwork to your tenant. A judge may just tell you that if YOU didn't care about collecting any rent for a year, WHY should you care about it now. In my state of Iowa, if a LL lets a T go past 30 days of owing rent without filing for eviction in the courts, the LL loses the right to evict for that month. You may end up just giving the person a 30 day notice to move, and then try to evict him if he doesn't move.
