Evection laws in Indiana due to not paying Rent

Evection laws in Indiana due to not paying Rent

I have an apartment complex in Indiana some of my tenants are taking advantage of the fact that I cannot evict them due to them not paying rent (COVID-19) even though they are getting government funding. And didn’t lose their job or hours because of Covid.

Is their away for me to still file for eviction knowing that tenants won’t be able to proof there income was reduced due to Covid?

    Which part of Indiana? I have a lawyer that might be able to give you some guidance.

    Call the courthouse and ask if they are hearing eviction cases. Call the sheriff and ask if they are enforcing evictions.

    The tenants have to fill out this CDC form https://www.cdc.gov/coronaviru... in order to prove they were affected by COVID. 

    Counties are providing landlord assistance programs so look into those. I don't believe you can evict a tenant based on non payment of rent due to the moratorium so you are better off trying to get the assistance than trying to evict the tenant.
