Holdover Deadbeat Tenant
I gave my tenant a notice of non renewal on a month to month lease. Not only did my tenant not pay rent for the month of October but he also ignored my notice to vacate and is still in the property. I think I have a right to evict for non payment and holdover but someone told me that a holdover hearing takes more time than a simple non payment eviction. Which one is quicker? Do I need an attorney for the holdover hearing?
Re: Holdover Deadbeat Tenant
An eviction is much faster than a holdover, but you are entitled to two separate hearings. You can get the eviction quickly, then get a hearing on your holdover money later.
It’s always best–and maybe quicker–to use an attorney.
