I’d get a bunch of cats with fleas and let them loose in the house...............................
I showed that movie every quarter to my Real Estate Law students.
I would like to see the actual contract. Let’s create a scenario. Of course, it will be fraught with potential liability to the owner.
The lowlife does not leave. Owner gives a rental agreement to a new user. That could be a little old lady or perhaps two members of a biker gang. The new user has an agreement and takes possession when the lowlife is not there. When lowlife comes back, he calls the police. What do the police do? One party has a contract that ended. The other party, whether if be little old lady or biker gang members has a contract evidencing the right to occupy on that date. The police say it is a civil matter. Will they share the house or will the lowlife leave decide he should leave?
Since he will be able to find a scumbag attorney, lowlife will sue. But what are the damages? He got the benefit of the bargain for the time he rented the house. Owner had rented it to another party and that new party took possession per the contract, believing the house to be vacant and believing they had the right to possession under the contract.
