About this template

What is this template?

This is a sworn evidentiary document submitted to a Rent Control and Eviction Officer to stop the government from allotting a portion of a landlord's house to an outsider. It is not an eviction notice or a lease agreement. It contains specific declarations regarding family history, inheritance of the property, and the internal room-by-room usage of the house.

When should you use it?

Use this document when a local authority attempts to allot a room or portion of your house to someone else after a tenant has vacated, but you require that space for your own family. If you are instead trying to evict a current tenant for non-payment, use an Eviction Petition under the relevant Rent Control Act.
