Content: Payments to the landlord must be in cash, certified check or money order. The landlord cannot evict you on a Sunday or holiday. The sheriff or constable must be present during the eviction. The landlord does not have to notify you when the eviction will take place. Once your property is removed from the premises, you are responsible for its safety. I am living in a property with housing violations, what can I do? What action? When a tenant lives in a property with certain defects or conditions (usually housing code violations), the tenant can file a rent escrow action in District Court. What do I need to do first? Notify the landlord about the property’s defects or conditions, and request that the landlord make necessary repairs or correct the conditions.
