Landlord Can Eject Tenants from Apartment

January 1, 1997

LVT Number: 11131

Landlord sued to eject tenants from apartment without starting a holdover proceeding. The court ruled for landlord, and tenants appealed. The appeals court ruled against tenants. Tenants lease had expired. After that, tenants didn't offer to pay rent and landlord didn't accept any rent from them. So no holdover tenancy was created.
