For non-payment of rent? Not, I think, in France. In the USA yes. Unless a particular jurisdiction has a law I haven't yet seen. In England, a household in risk of eviction is the responsibility of the Council if a family member is pregnant: http://www.clsdirect.org.uk/documents/leaflet06e.pdf
But you haven't said where you are.
And if you mean, "Can a woman be evicted on the sole grounds that she is pregnant?" -- presuming that she has signed a lease in which she agreed there would be no children -- the answer is generally no. But some HOAs and retirement communities in the USA are said to have enforceable no-children rules. So once the child is born there's a problem.

While eviction is not easy, it is a viable alternative for the landlord. In spite of the pregnancy, the landlord is an investor in property to make money and the law favors ownership, but it takes weeks or even months for eviction to be impelled. Sorry, the pregnancy is not a reason for late payment or non-payment.

Sure! (at least in the United States)
It doesn't matter if she is pregnant or not, she still has an obligation to pay her rent on time. If she becomes homeless, she should check out her local crisis pregnancy center and see if there are any women's shelters in the area. She can also apply for WIC, temporary financial assistance, and low income housing assistance if she qualifies.
Hope this helps!

the answer is you could pursue an eviction hostile to all of us for nonpayment of lease. That man or woman would employ an legal specialist and bypass to housing court to attempt to circumvent being evicted. A choose will then settle on what takes position. i imagine what your chum skill is in case you're trying to evict someone pregnant, and they take it to court, a choose will be sympathetic to them and refuse to evict them. In cases which contain that, a choose would supply the guy an extension era of quite a few months, yet they are going to prepare the tenant to pay the lease. of direction, the tenant would no longer accomplish that, in which case you bypass again to court in 3 months, etc. ultimately, the court equipment will provide help to forcibly evict someone who would not pay lease. the mission is it might want to take quite a few months, the guy would not in any respect pay, and look at to position in writing it off. All that being stated, it really is a contravention of honest housing regulations to refuse to employ to a qualified applicant because they have toddlers or are pregnant. So in case you refuse to employ now and they pursue it, you'd be sued effectively by skill of them. you want to %. honest criteria for tenancy (which contain credit historic previous, references, etc., and use them to %. tenants. Make those criteria as public as probable to circumvent proceedings. Then %. tenants in accordance to that. If a pregnant woman is a good renter with references, she'll be a good tenant and also you ought to take her.

Unfortunately, a landlord can evict anyone if given enough reason. It seems like a pregnant woman, or anyone with expensive medical issues should be given a little more leniency, but it just isn't so.

She cannot in the USA, unless she has caused a problem that's illegal, could be considered illegal, etc. Or if her boyfriend is staying there and is not on the lease, or if she has too many men visiting that it looks like something else is going on. Depends on if she's living in a private residence or in a rental unit, etc.
Depends too on what kind of situation it is, if she has no lease and is living in someone's home there is the possibility they can ask her to leave. You didn't tell us the entire store, so we can't make a full determination.

Yes, there are social programs that can help single mothers but you are still obligated under the contract you signed, pregnant or not. I suggest you try and find someone to sublease and find a cheaper place. Just my two cents about the sublease....Good luck

Of course. Homeless shelters are full of evicted pregnant women, and new moms, and a whole bunch of other people who caught a bad break.

If she is behind on her rent, yes she can be evicted for non-payment of the unpaid portion of her rent.

Yes!!! And unless the landlord is the father then why should he have to pay or furnish a place for her to live?
It not being that great of a place doesn't have anything to do with it. If she doesn't think it's so great then why does she want to stay?
