CASE STUDY
A forcible detainer can usher out unwanted guests when no tenancy is established
Although it is a summary proceeding like the typical unlawful detainer (eviction) action, a forcible detainer is a different creature reserved for instances when there is no landlord-tenant relationship and the property owner is merely giving a family member or someone else a place to lay their head.
The license to occupy the premises can be rescinded at any time, as we explain in this case study.
