Hi. How are you today?
Thank you for your question. I look forward to answering the question for educational purposes only. I will provide legal information, but no attorney-client relationship will be or has been established. Please allow me some time to review the question. I will post the answer in a few minutes.

I am sorry to hear about the situation. I know that can be stressful. A landlord cannot use self-help to evict tenants and must obtain a court order before the tenants can be evicted. A landlord generally cannot file for eviction until the lease expires or month-to-month tenancy is terminated upon 30 days written notice. A landlord can be responsible for damages in court for constructively evicting the tenants, such as by changing locks or disconnecting the utilities. Also, a cease and desist letter from a local attorney can often achieve the desired results without litigation. While the rules of the site prevent experts from representing customers of the site, these sites are often used to find a local attorney: www.SuperLawyers.com and www.Lawyers.com. A pro bono attorney can send a demand letter and represent at no charge. Here are some pro bono resources in Indiana: https://www.justia.com/lawyers/indiana/legal-aid-and-pro-bono-services
