Unlawful Detainer, Ejectment Cases & Squatters Alternatives to an eviction include Unlawful Detainer and Ejectment cases. Unlawful detainer cases are brought when there is no landlord tenant relationship - meaning, the person in the rental property is not on the property pursuant to a lease, written or oral. These situations often arise when a friend asks to enter the property without an agreement to pay anything, but then refuses to leave; or when a one buys a property at a foreclosure sale or from a bank after the former owner transfers the property back to the bank, and there is a person on the rental property who was not a tenant of the former owner. A Squatter on the rental property is also removed by Unlawful Detainer or Ejectment. A benefit to an Unlawful Detainer case as compared to an Ejectment case is that the former is brought in court court and is entitled to expedited proceedings, meaning those cases are advanced on the courts calendar and dealt with quickly. Ejectment cases are only brought in circuit court, and are not required to be advanced on the judges calendar. Ejectment cases are usually required when there is a dispute or challenge related to ownership of the rental property. When a claim over ownership, title, or other equitable claim to the underlying property is being made is not always clear. But claims of ownership or equity interest can arise from many situations such as options to purchase that are or remain exercisable, as well as matters related to defects in title transfers. The Eviction Law Firm can provide legal guidance and representation to persons seeking an eviction, unlawful detainer or ejectment of a person on the rental property.
