I’m going through an eviction for lapse of time with a tenant.
Hi ****, I understand your situation. May I know which city or country you are in? Your local laws can significantly impact the eviction process.
Hamden
Hi ****! Here's a brief on eviction laws in Hamden, Connecticut:
- A notice to quit must be given before an eviction.
- After notice, a complaint can be filed in court.
- If tenant doesn't respond, you may ask for a default judgment.
It's advisable to consult a local attorney.
All of that was done, we met with mediator, agreed and sign agreement. The tenant has not held up their end of the agreement
I see. If the tenant violates the agreement, you can return to court. The court can enforce the agreement or proceed with eviction. Always consult with your attorney before taking action.
I did return to court to execute the eviction, however the judge has given the tenant more leeway even though she has broken the agreement signed with the mediation, instead of signing off on the executing of the eviction
It sounds like a challenging situation. Sometimes, judges may provide tenants with additional opportunities. It's essential to consult a lawyer for further advice. Can I help you find a local attorney in Hamden, CT?
I can’t afford a lawyer, as this tenant owes rent since August *. Hence the reason I’m doing this process on my own. Would legal aid be able to assist me?
Yes, legal aid offices can often help in such cases. The New Haven Legal Assistance Association in Connecticut may be able to help. Here are their contact details:
