Is it true,landlords who have their rental property in an llc cannot represent the llc in an eviction. This is because the llc technically owns the rental property. They must hire an attorney, otherwise they are engaging in the unauthorized practice of law.
Hello Janine. The rules regarding representation in court for LLCs can vary by location. Could you please provide the state where the rental property is located?

Yes, in Ohio, LLCs must be represented by an attorney in court. An individual landlord acting on behalf of the LLC without an attorney is considered unauthorized practice of law. It's crucial to consult with a legal professional in these matters.
