Are you a landlord in Northeastern Pennsylvania, e.g., in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Pittston, Dunmore, or elsewhere? If so, consider these helpful tips.
Act quickly. Each day that rent goes unpaid imposes a burden not only upon your own finances but upon the tenants that do pay, as well.
Gather facts. Prior to preparing an eviction, you will need to know how much the tenant owes. In addition, you should have a copy of the lease and other documents that might help your case.
Do not tolerate threats. If one of your tenants is acting aggressively toward you, it may be time to engage a third party to represent you and to speak on your behalf.
File an eviction at the magistrate. The first step is usually an eviction at the magistrate. Handling this on your own can be fraught with pitfalls, especially if a tenant asserts defenses or plans to argue against you. Whether you already filed an action and require someone to appear on your behalf or whether you need assistance initiating a filing, the Brunelle Law Group is highly familiar with these processes and stands ready to assist you.
Secure a free consultation. If you feel you need competent representation to handle an eviction for you, make (570) 604-4680 your first call for a free consultation. We stand ready to assist you.
