Yes. Landlords may pursue eviction for nonpayment of rent or lease violations, subject to proper notices and due process. Tenants can challenge eviction by filing responses, negotiating settlements, or requesting court intervention if the notices were defective or the breach is unresolved.
Common notices include a pay rent or cure notice and a notice to comply with lease terms. Notices must meet specific statutory requirements and deadlines. Timely, precise notices help prevent future disputes and support any potential court action.

While not required, legal counsel can help ensure notices are proper, timelines are met, and strategies align with your goals. A lawyer can also assist with negotiations and court proceedings if needed.
