No need for the expense of an attorney. Evection is easy. Just follow the outline in the Gold Book. With a lease or not you can still evict through the JP court. An easier way I have found is to give the tenant notice the rent is going up 3 times what he is currently paying. When they call tell ...

If the owner is an insurance company it is probably stolen, and they paid a claim for it to be in their name. DO NOT CALL ...
