Kentucky law for evection of a non-tenant
Good afternoon,
Had a very strange and unfortunate incident happen recently. I had a tenant who passed away, even though she had been clean for a while and had her parents helped, her ex-boyfriend came back into her life and overdosed her. Where it gets legally weird is that her parents took over the apartment, as they were paying everything and the executors of her estate. He claims they threw away some of his stuff, and tried to sue me for it. It got thrown out since I had nothing to do with them throwing away “his“ stuff, but the judge did not like that I did not evict him even though he was not on the lease and the lease was clear that my tenant should be the only one living there. He did show up when she died and spent three days at the property before her parents came in town which I thought was very generous. Anyone know more clearly what the evection laws in this case are in Kentucky? I don’t want to make this mistake again although I also hope there will be no more heroin addict ex-boyfriend‘s in the picture ever again (I inherited her in the building, I already do background checks on everyone new and I will for everyone I inherit from now on).
Thanks,
Ramzi
