Evictions involve legally ending a tenancy and regaining possession of a property through a court process when a tenant fails to comply with the lease or rental agreement.
The core steps typically include issuing a compliant notice, filing a complaint, serving documents, a tenant response or defense, a court hearing, and, if needed, a writ of possession to restore control of the property.
Glossary terms you may encounter in eviction cases are defined below to help you understand the process.
A written notice from a landlord outlining the time frame a tenant has to vacate the premises, which starts the eviction timeline.
A court order that authorizes law enforcement to remove the tenant and regain possession of the property when other steps have not resolved the matter.
A lawsuit filed by a landlord to recover possession of a rental property from a tenant who has violated the terms of the lease or stayed past the end of the tenancy.
