Real Estate seizure options available to a corporation to claim a rental property in which an executive resides from the landlord.
What is the location of the rental property? The laws regarding real estate seizure vary by state.
Utah
What is the reason for the corporation wanting to seize the rental property?

In Utah, a corporation can't seize a property unless there's a legal judgment or lien against it.
It would better suit the surrounding community to continue development in an established location rather than moving from place to place or simply having no base of operations.
Is the corporation planning to purchase the property or are they looking to seize it due to a debt owed by the landlord?
the original plan was to apply for non-profit grants to purchase, but the executive is behind on rent due to loss of employment (he personally funds the entire project). This is a preventative measure.
Does the corporation have any legal judgment or lien against the property?

In Utah:
- A corporation can't seize a property unless there's a legal judgment or lien against it.
No. How would it file one?
To file a lien, the corporation would need to go through a legal process, usually involving a lawsuit. It's best to consult with a local attorney. For Utah, you can contact the Utah State Courts at (*) *-*.
Additional line of questioning: can the corporation file greivance on the tenant's behalf to preemptively force a stay of eviction process or any other legal process from the landlord?
What is the nature of the grievance the corporation intends to file on behalf of the tenant?
Uncertain. Simply looking out there to see what is available and can certainly form an argument based on the procedure.
What is the relationship between the corporation and the tenant? This information can help determine if the corporation has standing to file a grievance on behalf of the tenant.
the tenant is the founder and CEO of the corporation.
What is the nature of the lease agreement between the tenant and the landlord?
The tenant has also used the stability of the residence to fund the entire entity's conception and progress thus far.
What is the current status of the lease agreement? Is it still active or has it expired?
Expires tomorrow.
Is there any clause in the lease agreement that allows for an extension or renewal?
It then becomes month to month.
What is the landlord's stance on the situation? Are they open to negotiation or are they insisting on eviction?
The landlord now insists that the entity cease to provide the needed support to its community. More or less, threatens the existence of tis entity.
What actions has the landlord taken so far to enforce this?
None. We are working to acquire owed rent this very moment, but landlord has stated either way that should the corporation continue to function as necessary that an eviction process will be initiated. This is what we aim to get in front of.
What is the amount of rent that is currently owed to the landlord?
$*,*.*
What steps has the corporation taken to secure the necessary funds to pay the owed rent?
Applications for business loans (either too long or denied because of use of personal guarantees or enitity only being 6 months old and a non-profit with no revenue to speak of). Executive is also seeking personal loans to fulfill this obligation, but has poor credit and recently unemployed, save the organizational management of the corporation.
What steps has the corporation taken to negotiate with the landlord or seek legal advice regarding the impending eviction?
This is the first. So far, the executive is communicating with the landlord directly via text message and email regarding the matter. The corporation is seeking advice for the first time prior to making any assertions on his behalf.
What is the corporation's plan if the eviction process is initiated by the landlord?
Unknown. This is part of the reason counsel is being sought. Short of the tenant responding with typical court procedures, no alternative is known. Unfortunately, those processes only extend the time eviction occurs as the executive currently has become unemployed and unable to secure any other residence. As a home based operation, this ultimately threatens the very existence of this corporation.
Has the corporation considered seeking legal aid or representation to negotiate with the landlord or to explore other legal options?
Not yet. This inquiry is to see what can be done in this regard. The corporation is hesitant to step in on this matter until the desired results are assessed and the result will be likely favorable.
What is the nature of the non-profit work the corporation is doing? This could potentially influence the legal options available.
One moment. Pulling up text of project charter to sample from.
What is the main objective of the project charter for the non-profit work the corporation is doing?
The Black Flag, operating as a DBA of **** Michael Jeanpierre Corporation, is a community-focused organization dedicated to helping individuals in the Salt Lake Valley facing challenges such as homelessness, unemployment, and other critical needs.
What steps has the corporation taken to secure funding for its non-profit work and to support its operations?
The project requires an initial working capital of $*,*.*, self-funded by **** Michael Jeanpierre. Additional funding may be sought through fundraising campaigns, community and corporate donations, and grant opportunities.
What is the corporation's plan for continuing its operations if the eviction process is initiated and the property is seized?
Do you mean seized by the landlord?
Yes, I meant if the property is seized by the landlord. What is the corporation's plan for continuing its operations in that case?
There is none. The corporation will have no ability to continue its existence.
What steps has the corporation taken to find alternative locations for its operations in case of eviction?
This will effectively kill the entity.
What other options has the corporation considered to prevent the eviction or to secure a new location for its operations?
The executive is in active seeking employment to continue funding until grants can be qualified for. There is no way of securing any new location at the moment. The alternative is for the executive to live on the streets and for all operations of this entity to cease.
What steps has the corporation taken to secure non-profit grants or other forms of financial assistance?
sign up up with grants.gov, but the time and resources are already strained to parse through all thousands of grants. No active applications yet. Also, subscription services like grantwatch.com can not be paid for until this current matter of stability is settled. Several promising funding sources require monthly subscriptions which have had to lapse since the executive lost employment.
What steps has the corporation taken to negotiate a payment plan or extension with the landlord?
the corporation has not had any direct interaction with the landlord on this matter. The executive is currently in discussion via text message and email attempting to get repreive, but the landlord is unreasonable and threatens immediate vacation of premises if not paid this very day.
Has the corporation considered seeking legal aid or representation to negotiate with the landlord or to explore other legal options?
Yes, but this is the first inquiry as the legal aid resources that will be effective are unknown to the corporation. Do you know the resources needed?
What steps has the corporation taken to secure the necessary funds to pay the owed rent?
Assist the executive to field numerous interviews to regain the employment that up until only two months ago was the sole source of funding for this purpose.
What steps has the corporation taken to secure legal representation or advice regarding the eviction process and potential options for the corporation?
