Ren-l-re

• Can I take a tenant to small claims court to recover damages?
• My tenant has not paid the rent this month. Can I change the locks?
• I have a tenant who is in arrears of rent for the last two months. I would rather not terminate the lease. Is there anything else I can do to recover my losses and to show the tenant that I am serious about payment of rent?
• I discovered that one of my tenants has another person living in the apartment. Can I evict the other person? Can I evict the tenant?
• If I evict someone, do they have to be out by noon or midnight?
• I served a 14-day termination notice on my tenants. The 14 days have past and they have not vacated the premises. What is my next step?
• One of my tenants was supposed to move out of a house a month ago when a fixed-term tenancy ended. I had a new tenancy arranged for the next month. The tenant did not move out of the house as we agreed, and I lost the next tenant. Can I take legal action against the tenant who would not move out?
