<div>My feeling is</div>
<div>Option 1. Plead MTM only. Don't mention lease. This option probably isn't available if lease has MTM rollover provision "on same terms and conditions as lease". Then lease would seem to be required attachment to complaint.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Option 2. Attach lease and explain H was W's agent at signing. W as owner has right to serve statutory notice.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Hello Members: I was presented with the following problem and seek your opinion on how you would plead a complaint for possession with the following facts:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Facts: Rental property owned by wife only. Written lease names husband only as landlord. Lease expires and tenant remains as a month-to-month tenant. Tenant eventually
goes into default on month-to-month tenancy. Wife serves 3-day notice in her name. Tenant fails to pay rent or deliver possession.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Normally, my complaint alleges the existence of a lease, which then turned month-to-month, and the service of the 3 day notice, and both documents are attached to the complaint.
Because the lease is in the name of the husband, I have concerns about attaching it.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Question: Would you allege the existence of the month-to-month tenancy only and not attach the lease, or some other type of allegation and attach the lease ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Thank you. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
