Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Ejectment or possession action

Members:  I'm curious to learn whether you think the person in the following fact scenario is a tenant subject to a possession action or not and subject to an ejectment action.  Thank you for your thoughts.

FACTS:  Owner agrees to allow Mrs. Smith to move in to the Owner's condominium in exchange for payment of the electricity bill.  Owner lives in the condominium as well.  After one month, Mrs. Smith stops paying electricity bill.  Owner then demands rent in the amount of $400 per month  which Mrs. Smith initially agrees to pay but the deal terms change when Owner agrees that Mrs. Smith can remain in the unit without paying rent if she will assist Owner with a foreclosure action.   Mrs. Smith at no time paid the $400/month.  Mrs. Smith does assist Owner but now the foreclosure  has been resolved.  In the meantime, Mrs. Smith has invited another person into the unit, refuses to pay rent, remove the visitor or to turn over possession.

Eviction or Ejectment?

Thank you.


Regards,
