Deadbeat "Tenant", Lets get her out.
Here is the situation
This is in PA
Man buys house. Man is on deed and on mortgage.
Man Gets Married.
Man and wife live in house a few years.
Man and Wife are at odds - He leaves and moves on.
Wife agrees to stay and pay the mortgage.
Fast Forward 2 years
Mortgage is 18 months behind
Man is still married to this woman.
She has no lease, not paying any rent, and he considers her a squatter.
He is trying to save the property from foreclosure.
He wont be successful if she is in the property.
I am going to speak with a lawyer, But until then curious what the community thinks.
My Assumptions are:
If he calls the police to remove a "squatter", she will say He is my husband, I have a right to live her, blah blah blah and they will say it is a matter for the courts.
If he offers her cash for keys she would laugh. Why take a few hundred bucks if she is living for free on his dime.
If he takes her to eviction court, they will pawn it off on "marriage" court.
If "marriage" court gets involved the property will be foreclosed on before he can get her out and attempt to save the property.
Thoughts?
