5 year statute for return of property, but I would not wait that long.

Re: property statue of limations

Dear Friend,

Sorry to hear of the breakup. Is there a chance your ex-partner might consider mediation (using a neutral third-party to discuss the situation) as a way to resolve things in a healthy manner? If so, that can be done quickly and without charge. If not, perhaps a letter from an attorney with a polite threat might be enough to get them to take action, rather than resorting to eviction court. Please write me, if there is anything I can do to help.

Sincerely,

Gerald Nordgren

Re: property statue of limations

Hello. If you have ownership in the

residence, you have a right to remain

on the premises. Usually these matters end up in court and can be

alittle sticky if the parties are not married, but are both named on a lease or mortgage. Therefore, there is no real timetable. However, if you

are not on the lease or do not own the property with the other person, your ex-partner can evict you by giving a 30 days notice of termination of tenancy. If you do not move after the 30 days, your ex

can then take you to court and have you evicted as any landlord could. Will be happy to answer any additional questions you might have.
