    Angry Eviction of No-Lease Tenant

    My question involves an eviction in the state of: Pennsylvania

    My know-it-all, trusting, and naieve (stupid) daughter has herself in a mess. She has a home which she let a friend stay in when she moved, as he told her he intended to purchase her house. He paid her the mortgage for 3 months while he supposedly arranged financing. This was a verbal agreement.

    When he stopped paying, apparently he allowed a woman with 3 kids in, and he took off. The utilities were transferred to the woman's name. She has never paid a cent in rent. There was never a lease. My daughter did not give permission for this woman to be in her house. My daughter never intended to be a "landlord".

    My daughter presented the woman in person a letter to vacate within 15 days, but the woman remains, 4 months now, and does not answer the phone. What should be my daughter's next step?

    She should serve another notice and file an eviction action.

    How exactly does one file an eviction action?

    My daughter cannot afford a lawyer. Can she just go to the county courthouse and ask to file an eviction action?

    Thanks

    Yup. She needs to go to the Clerk of Courts and ask for the relevant forms, fill them out, and pay the filing fee.
