Isn't her supposed to pay rent on-time for the automatic stay to be in effect?

Answered 12 years and 8 months ago by Mark T. Peters, Sr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers
No, there is an automatic stay in effect. You need to get that lifted before you can take any action. You know, if she has been pay the late payment penalty along with the rent, you are doing pretty well. Why would you want to get rid of somebody who is paying, even if it is late? Think about it....

The landlord may not take any action against a tenant in bankruptcy, or for that matter, any other person in bankruptcy, unless the landlord gets relief from the automatic stay.

How do you know she filed. If its with the official court notice, I would recommend you not start eviction. If you did not receive any formal notice (I.E. she just told you), there should be no reason not to go ahead. You probably should have legal counsel on this. Also, many of these posts say they are from Wisconsin when they aren't, I am only talking about an eviction in Wisconsin.... Read More

Once a Bankruptcy is filed you must seek a court order from the Bankruptcy court itself in order to take any action against the tenant for either collection of rent or eviction. Once a Bankruptcy is filed an automatic stay goes into effect and no action may be taken with a relief of that automatic stay. You can go to the Bankruptcy court and file a Motion for Relief of Stay - Unlawful Detainer. If that motion is granted then you may be able to proceed with an eviction.... Read More

Can my former landlord put a lien on my accounts for carpet damages that were already there when we moved in?

Answered 12 years and 8 months ago by Mark T. Peters, Sr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers
He can. If you did not note the damage when you moved in, in writing, then you may be liable for it. Do you have pictures of the damage when you moved in? That might help.

Answered 12 years and 8 months ago by Frances Ann Headley (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers
Power bills are generally in the name of the individual who opened the account. The power company neither knows or cares who may be on title. However, the bill should now be transferred to the name of the person now responsible for paying the bill.

Is there anything the tenant could do to get justice after the Judge granted summary judgment for landlordsโ€™ attorney?

Answered 12 years and 8 months ago by Georges Herman Shers (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers
You can file an appeal, but I doubt an attorney will be willing to handle the case since you apparently can not afford an attorney.

Answered 12 years and 8 months ago by Mark T. Peters, Sr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
I would tell them that when you file the slander claim against them you will get to see the film, so they should stop dilly-dallying and show it to you now. Or get an attorney and have the attorney tell them that.

If a 3-day notice to perform or quit is not complied with, is it declared forfeit by the landlord?

Answered 12 years and 9 months ago by Ronald Daniel Dessy (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers
If the tenant fails to comply with the notice from the landlord within the period of time specified by the notice, the tenant's rights under the lease are forfeited. The forfeiture of the tenant's rights of continued possession, does not deprive the landlord of any other rights to enforce the lease provisions while the tenant unlawfully continues in possession following the failure to comply with a reasonable notice. Restated, the notice does not terminate the landlord's rights under the lease. Nonetheless, the second notice should've explained that it superseded and replaced the first notice, for the tenant to understand that he had continuing rights under the lease.... Read More

I want to take my mother out of nursing home but they keep giving the round around what can I do?

Answered 12 years and 9 months ago by Ronald Daniel Dessy (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers
So long as your mother is mentally competent, she has the right side where she lives. If there is a question in that regard, you need to have her examined by the doctor, and if appropriate, obtain a court order making you the conservator of your mother. It sounds like there may be a claim for false imprisonment against the current housing provider, if your mother is prohibited from moving. If you have not yet done so, you should put the request to move your mother out into written form, so as to prompt a written response, explaining the position of the current housing provider....

How do I have my 24 year old out as soon as possible?

Answered 12 years and 9 months ago by Georges Herman Shers (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers
He is a guest so you can give him a deadline in which to move out and then when he leaves the house change the locks on the doors. Tell him when you will put his clothing outside for him to pick up. You can call the police if you expect him to give you any trouble. You then may have to get a restraining order that he must stay at least 500 feet away from the house. Good luck.... Read More

Can my landlord demand a copy of my driver's license, and social security card 6 months after I have been in the property?

Answered 12 years and 9 months ago by Georges Herman Shers (Unclaimed Profile)   |   2 Answers
Probably not as to the CDL as he already has proof of your identity and does not need the CDL for any legitimate business reason. The Social Security card is legally not supposed to be used for identification purposes although it is done all the time.
