An eviction is a legal process to remove a tenant from a property when lease terms are violated or the tenancy ends. It starts with a proper notice and proceeds through an unlawful detainer action in court, with a judge deciding the case.
Critical steps include issuing a correct notice, filing an unlawful detainer, handling defenses, and obtaining a judgment that allows for possession.
This section outlines the key elements and steps involved in eviction cases, from notices to possession.
A legal action filed to regain possession of a rental unit when a tenant breaches the lease or fails to vacate after notice.
A written notice instructing a tenant to vacate the property by a specified date under the lease or state law.
The end of a lease term or a breach that ends tenancy, triggering eviction steps.
A court order directing the sheriff to remove occupants after an eviction judgment is entered.
Different paths exist beyond eviction, including negotiated settlements, mediation, or lease amendments. We help you weigh benefits, costs, and risks.
