Lease enforcement involves upholding contractual lease terms through lawful remedies, ranging from notices and negotiations to court actions and eviction proceedings when needed.
Key steps include reviewing the lease, documenting breaches, sending notices, pursuing negotiations or mediation, and, if necessary, filing an unlawful detainer or related action in court.
This glossary explains common terms used in lease enforcement disputes to help you understand rights, remedies, and timelines.
Failure to comply with a material lease term, such as nonpayment of rent or violating use provisions, may constitute a breach.
A formal notice informing a tenant that they must cure a breach or vacate the premises within a specified period.
Remedies may include monetary damages, rent relief, negotiated settlements, or eviction proceedings depending on the breach and governing law.
A tenant who remains in possession after the lease term ends without a new agreement or eviction.
Options range from negotiation and mediation to arbitration and litigation. Each path has different timelines, costs, and potential outcomes.
