Dispossessory Actions

Dispossessory actions are legal proceedings initiated by a landlord to evict a tenant who has failed to pay rent or violated lease terms. The landlord files a case in court, seeking an order to regain possession of the rental property. After a court hearing, if the judge rules in favor of the landlord, the tenant may be required to vacate. This legal process ensures that both parties have the opportunity to present their cases, upholding their rights while addressing disputes over property occupancy.
