Explains Law For Evicting Tenants Grounds Announced By Rent Director John E. Williams, director-attor-ney of the area rent office announced today the grounds under j which landlords may seek eviction' of tenants under the new regulations and the steps they must take to qualify for eviction action, the wailing periods and protections afforded tenants. There are two groups of grounds for eviction, one requiring the landlord to petition for a certificate relating to eviction under which certificate the waiting period is imposed by the director, and the other group requires the landlord‘to file copies of his eviction notices with the rent office within 24 hours of the time served upon | the tenant. Such notices must state grounds j for eviction, and the facts supposing such ground or grounds, and the date when his tenant is required to vacate. If the ground is non-payment of renG the notice; must include a statement of the amount of rent due and the period or periods for which it is due. The following are a list of the grounds in the non-certificate group and the length of time to' which the tenant is entitled. 1. Non payment of rent. Not J 'ess than 3 days. 2. Violating "substantial obli-| gations or obligation of tenancy” 1 such as conducting a business in | part of the premises- contrary to J the terms of the rental agreement. Not less than 10 days. 3. Nuisance or illegal or immoral use. This ground applies' if, under the local law, the tenant Is (a) committing a nuisance in ■ the housing accommodation and. continues it after he receives no-1 tice to cease, or (b) is using the j accommodation for i’legal or im- ] moral purposes. Not Jess than 10 days. 4. Tenant’s refusal of access to landlord. This means the tenant has “unreasonably refused the■ landlord access to hon ing accommodations" to inspect it or show it to a prospective purchaser, unless the lease or rental agreement provides that the tenant dees not have to permit inspection or show-1 Ing of the premises. The notice' period for this ground is one month. 5. Accommodations entirely ■ sublet. This Is a case’ in which | the tenant’s lease or other rental I agreement has expired or other- 1 wise terminated, and at the time the occupants are subtenants, with no part of the accommoda- ■ tions used by the tenant as his 1 dwelling. Notice period of not less than two (2) months. 6. Landlord is a state or a political subdivision thereof. This ■ is a case in which a city, for example. acquires housing accommoda-1 tions for the purpose of making a public improvement, and it wishes : to rent them temporarily pending the construction of such improve- ; ment. The notice period is not less than two months. When a landlord commences court action to evict on any of the grounds stated above he is required in addition to the notice sta'ine the ground previously mentioned, o give to the rent office a written notice of his action stating the title of the cause or case, the number thereof when possible, and the court in which the action is filed, the name and address of tenant and the ground for eviction. All other types of evictions are considered to be in the ground requiring the landlord to petition ’o the area rent office for a certi‘l- - authorizing the eviction.! which certificate will ho issued if the rent office finds that the pronosed eviction is proper under the law.
