[RPPTL Leasing Committee] Eviction Question

[RPPTL Real Estate Leasing Committee]

I would file a motion for default and set it, along with the motion to dismiss, for hearing. It sounds like the tenant’s attorney will argue that chapter 83 doesn’t apply and that the case should be brought as an ejectment under chapter 82.

My client (landlord) sent a short  notarized offer to sell to the tenant who is interested in buying the property.  the tenant typed on the top of  the  page "Agreement For Deed" and also typed in the legal description.  He then recorded the document and now shows up on the Property Appraiser's website..

We will be in Circuit Court to clear the title, but my client wants him out of the property ASAP, therefore the eviction.  I filed the eviction papers in County Court, and the defendant's lawyer filed a Motion to Dismiss, alleging he has an interest in the property and therefore cannot be evicted.  No rent has been paid into the Court.

Should I file  a default against the tenant or set the Motion to Dismiss for Hearing? or another avenue?  Thanks. Arlene
