I never said there wasn't any cause, I said that a lease term on a residential lease is not cause for eviction. This means that a landlord cannot just make everyone leave if their leases are expired just to skirt the law and avoid having to evict based on number 3, which carries the 6 month...

Both leases are expired. Already been down that route, many arguments. The end answer is, they are residential tenants, and cannot be evicted without cause, regardless of the term of the lease at they have automatically converted to month to month. I watched my father arguing with the know it...

Yes, the municipality ordered him to restore the home to single family. However, he can't because the tenants still live there. Correct me if I am wrong but right now there are two tenants that live in completely separate apartments. I would imagine that my father could get into serious...

I understand that the apartment is illegal, however it is my understanding that the courts do not hold the black and white position that if you have an illegal apartment, you can just live there for free. If that were the case then people would just seek out illegal homes over and over again...

You know what is funny, and I have to admit this despite my close relationship with my father. These tenants are wonderful people, actually I don't think he could be any more lucky. First of all, they literally keep the property in pristine condition, no lease violations, no cops being called...

He is hard headed. Another thing he has been doing is trying everything to make it seem like all of the issues taking place were the tenants fault. He would cook up some scenario, then send them certified letters informing them they were violating their leases and "causing the issue", claiming...

Your advice is very good, and basically exactly what I have been saying. I told him "throw yourself on their mercy, cry your eyes out, beg, make them offers, anything you can do". No offense to anyone but he's an ex-marine, they don't like to lose. In regards to the tenants not wanting...

What is the name of your state? NJ My father purchased a single family home that he converted to a two family, drew up leases and rented out to two tenants. He for the most part followed the advice of his girlfriend, instead of hiring an attorney like I kept suggesting. Now it seems that it...
