Should it matter who represents the case for eviction possession?

Question

I am the new owner and I was the property manager before the house sale was completed. House sale completed prior to our 60 day notice which I served to the tenant as the property manager.

I've been managing the eviction process regarding notices, etc for my parents but I am now the legal owner . 1st case was about not paying rent but case granted that the home was uninhabitable giving the tenant permission to stay in possession rent free until the home is repaired but even when we do attempt in every way to repair the home, they purposely refuse to cooperate.

This is the 2nd case we have and it is regarding possesion for the new owner (me) not money. I want my house back to live in.

So does it matter if the old owners or myself represent the case? We are all appearing in court once there is a date.

Anyone know the answers?

Answer 1

YOU should get an atty; I hit the same absurdity in court

last year.

ONE court ignored state law and required I show up as owner

or that the prop mgr hire an atty.

If the tenant has not paid rent, you have no obligation to repair

anything.  That is a fact.

IF your unit does not have an occupancy permit, no one can

occupy it.

I would take the judgment you got and go to appellate court.

Answer 2

You should be the one to file the suit for possession as the new owner.
