California - You must obtain a judgement from the court, the judgement must then be served by the Sheriff's Department Civil Bureau. The whole process usually takes 1-3 months.
You cannot change the locks or do anything to "encourage" them to leave, i.e. shut off utilities, as it is a criminal act and YOU can be arrested for it.
The other important thing is, has that person established residency? Are they receiving mail there? Have they lived there more than... 3? months.. I don't get alot of these anymore so my memory is a little fuzzy. I believe it's 3 months, and/or receiving mail at the residence.

Landlords are pretty protected in alot of states? what state are you asking about.
In the end...it is what the lease says that overlaps anything else..unless there is an attached "rider" where something in the lease that has been changed or agreed on after its signing is written up seperate.
If there are verbal agreements...or promises the Lease or renters contract is the binding agreement.
UNLESS the landlord has done something that breaks the lease on his part or is unlawful.
In alot of states the landlord must serve a notice to evict with time period stated (must atleast reflect time mentioned in lease) some states its as little as 10 days. Then if the tenant doesnt leave, landlord can file suit. In some States like PA it can take up to 90 days to get someone out.....
In the end the landlord is the most protected by laws. If ya give me more info (can email me) I can help you more directly..are you the landlord or tenant? what state are you in? that sorta thing
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!!!!
respect.peace.

a landlord can issue a five day notice in illinois. but the truth is you have to go to housing court and get the judge to order the evictiion. the tenant shows up gives a hundred reasons why they do not have a lawyer / can't pay. it gets continued on forever until the landlord can no longer afford the property they are renting lol. unfortunatly, to me it seems like the tenants have more rights than landlords do in illinois.

You need to state what City and state you live. Los Angeles is the most restrictive. Basically if you don't pay your rent or some extreme violation. California all around is difficult. Check the housing board of your state. They have a website explaining your rights for most states.

Well in Oregon a landlord can evict anyone for any reason, they don't even have to tell you why. They do have to give you 30 days notice though.

The word is Eviction. And you didnt ask a full question. In what state are you in? Laws usually differ by state.

He can if you have no contract with because you have no hold on his property deal but if you have undersigned contract with him, it should then be followed except if there's a breach of contract.
